Hazing
and Athletics
Although hazing
has often been thought to exist primarily in fraternities
and sororities,
a 1999
study by Alfred University and the NCAA found that approximately
80% of college athletes had been subjected to some form of
hazing. Half were required to participate in drinking contests
or alcohol related initiations while two thirds were subjected
to humiliating hazing. Additionally, much of the reported
hazing in high schools occurs during initiations related to
athletic teams with many problems arising during pre-season
sports camps. Some of the recent high profile hazing incidents
in the news
have involved brutal initiations in
high
school sports. Hazing also occurs among professional sports
teams as documented in numerous news media accounts.
Despite widespread reports of hazing in sport, many coaches
and athletic directors did not identify hazing as a problem
on their teams (according to the Alfred/NCAA study). However,
many educational institutions and associations are seriously
addressing the problem of hazing and athletes. Johnson
and Holman’s (2004) edited collection provides insightful
perspectives about sports initiations and hazing. Several
chapters address positive efforts being made by coaches and
athletics administrators to curb harmful hazing. The
Report of the President’s Committee on the Prevention
of Hazing in Intercollegiate Sports at The University of Vermont
is another informative resource about hazing and college sports.
The NCAA and the National Association of Collegiate Directors
of Athletics (NACDA) are making hazing a priority issue for
their associations.
Much education is still needed to eliminate harmful hazing
in athletics. Something on which most educators, coaches and
advocates agree is the best way to end hazing is to begin
by sending a clear anti-hazing message. Then, implement a
strong anti-hazing policy, communicate it clearly, and enforce
it when incidents occur.
