The bill requires disclosure of sorority and fraternity hazing.
President Joe Biden signed the Stop Campus Hazing Act into law, authorizing the first federal law requiring greater transparency into crimes committed on college campuses.
Colleges and universities were already required to disclose all crimes committed on their campuses but were not required to specify which crimes were committed as a result of hazing practices. Though many fraternity and sorority welcoming rituals are harmless, some new members have been severely injured or killed during hazing conducted by these groups.
The new law requires colleges and universities to compile statistics on annual hazing incidents for federal review and implement anti-hazing programs and policies.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the president and his advisors as he signs legislation that Congress has passed.
- For wisdom for members of the House and Senate as they close out the current session.
