“Thank you for the opportunity to complete the No2hazing online training. The content of the course was great. I liked that information specific to my location (DC) was provided and I learned about the laws applicable to me and my chapter. “

I had absolutely no idea that hazing was so detrimental to our fraternity. Now I and my chapter brothers, as well as accompanying chapters, can help to ensure intake is conducted safely, in a way that builds candidates/pledges’ character while simultaneously reforming them into the men Iota continues to look for.
