What is the hazing policy?

• A. Hazing is tolerated with consent
• B. Hazing is optional
• C. Hazing is strictly prohibited
• D. Hazing is not tolerated

Answer: (C)

HazING is treated as a safety and respect issue, so the policy is a firm ban with consequences. Saying hazing is strictly prohibited communicates a zero-tolerance rule: hazing is not allowed under any circumstances, regardless of consent or tradition. This reflects a commitment to protecting everyone involved and reducing risk of harm or legal trouble. The ideas that hazing might be tolerated with consent or that it's optional imply some allowance, which contradicts the idea of a clear, enforceable prohibition. Saying it’s not tolerated is similar in spirit, but labeling it strictly prohibited makes the rule explicit and emphasizes there are no exceptions.
