Common Strategies to Detect Hazing at LMU

Additional Hazing Detection Tools for LMU Advisors and Leaders

Use early intervention techniques:

  • Track who's attending events and who’s falling behind academically
  • Talk regularly with student leaders and new members
  • Encourage open-door policies and normalize help-seeking
  • Monitor social media trends of student groups
  • Keep updated on organization rituals and activities

Train your teams to ask:

  • Are any members being intentionally excluded or degraded?
  • Are group rituals consistent with stated values and university policy?
  • Are any members showing signs of fear, burnout, or withdrawal?

Take Action Early

If you see something, say something. You don’t have to prove it’s hazing to make a report. Early intervention can prevent more serious harm.

When in doubt, use these tools:

  • Document what you see
  • Call Campus Safety for consultation
  • Use LMU’s confidential E-Report system
