Everyone wants to be accepted. They want to make friends; they want to be part of a family unit outside their home. So, people join clubs, sports teams and Greek life. But even though there is acceptance found in these communities, there is also danger. This danger is called hazing. Where members of these groups lash out dares and threaten to shut pledges doors into the groups if they do not accept the feats, hazing is unacceptable. Bruises, black eyes, lawsuits and numerous other things branch from hazing. Instead of being welcomed into a group with open arms, these groups welcome new members with no mercy.

Nicole Amos, a sophomore at Frostburg State University is starting off her first year strong as Greek Council Standards chairman. She was given the task to plan the program, 'These Hands Don't Haze,' an annual event that spreads awareness of hazing within one sole week of September and is sponsored by the Greek Council as well. The program, held in the Lane University Center,  begins September 21st and concludes on the 25th. This event will teach others how to be aware of hazing, in order to avoid being harmed by it.
