Elizabeth Allan, a professor of higher education at the University of Maine, spoke with the Austin American-Statesman<\/a> for the article \u201cCrackdown on hazing gains momentum among state lawmakers.\u201d A series of hazing-related deaths in Texas has led to a push by state legislators to combat hazing on college campuses, according to the article. Allan has studied hazing for 15 years and defines it as \u201cany activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses or endangers them regardless of a person\u2019s willingness to participate.\u201d The most frequent hazing behaviors include drinking large amounts of alcohol, acting as a personal servant to others, associating with specific people and not others, sleep deprivation and being screamed or cursed at by other members of the group, the article states. Most students don\u2019t recognize hazing for what it is, and students will put up with it because of peer pressure, power dynamics, a desire to belong and other factors, Allan said. \u201cSometimes organizations that have a long history and tradition and prestige tend to have hazing associated with them. It\u2019s basic cost-benefit analysis \u2014 if students see membership as highly desirable, then they might be more willing to do things that they wouldn\u2019t ordinarily do,\u201d said Allan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
