Non-Hazing Policy
Not only is hazing illegal, but all national fraternal organizations and Lincoln University have banned hazing. If it were revealed that any organization conducted hazing activities, the organization and its members would be sent through the university conduct process and face harsh disciplinary procedures.

If suspect hazing is happening in a fraternity or sorority, please reach out to: StudentEngagement@LincolnU.edu
