During National Hazing Prevention Week, we're excited to highlight several college chapters that have gone above and beyond in executing hazing prevention programs and creating supportive chapter environments. Chief Panhellenic Officer Kate Myers shares, "At Gamma Mu, we strive to support each other and develop our members into leaders within the University of Maryland community. We uphold expectations that both the Panhellenic Council and headquarters set for us as a chapter, and by abiding by them, we promote inclusion and safety." Kate said Gamma Mu began the fall semester with a showing of the movie "Haze," which tells the true story of fraternity member Gordie Bailey, who died from hazing-related alcohol poisoning. The chapter followed up the film with a discussion about the insidious roots of hazing and the often-downplayed risks of overconsumption.
This week, the chapter has partnered with several other Greek groups to discuss hazing facts and myths and is proudly displaying an anti-hazing banner. Great work, Gamma Mu! #LeadingWomenDontHaze#IBelieveinGreeks #NHPW2016
