What type of activities may contribute to violating the hazing policy?

Public stunts and late work sessions can contribute to violating the hazing policy because these activities often put undue pressure on members to perform or participate in ways that can be perceived as humiliating or coercive. Hazing encompasses any action that could be harmful, degrading, or embarrassing to individuals in a group, often as a way to initiate or reinforce hierarchy within the organization.

In contrast, organized rehearsals, formal meetings with guests, and cultural events are typically structured and positive activities that promote learning, teamwork, and fellowship among members, aligning with the values and goals of Sigma Alpha Iota. These types of activities foster a supportive environment rather than one that may compromise the dignity or well-being of individuals. Engaging in public stunts and late work sessions may create a climate where members feel obligated to prove their loyalty or worthiness through potentially harmful practices, which is contrary to the principles of SAI.
