Our chapter is committed to upholding our Theta nationals and University-wide hazing policies. 
That means we don’t haze. Ever.
University Hazing Policy:
Hazing is commonly defined as any action taken or situation created, whether on or off fraternity premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule. The State of New York, Columbia University, and all national fraternities and sororities on campus have adopted anti-hazing legislation or policies. If you are hazed you must report it to the Assistant Director for Fraternity & Sorority Life or the Office of Judicial Affairs. Hazing has no place in the fraternity and sorority world and should not be tolerated. Chapters that haze are not worth your time and are dangerous.

Some examples of hazing situations may include any type of physical brutality; any activity involving consumption of food, liquid, alcoholic beverage, liquor, drug, or other substance which subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm; any activity that intimidates or threatens the student with ostracism, that subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame, or humiliation; or any activity that induces, causes, or requires the student to perform a duty or task which involves a violation of the law.

Hazing is prohibited by Columbia University and New York State Law. Groups engaged in hazing may be subject to consequences imposed by the Dean's Discipline Process and New York Stat Law as follows:

120.16. Hazing in the first degree
A person is guilty of hazing in the first degree when, in the course of another person's initiation into or affiliation with any organization, he or she intentionally or recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury or death to such other person or a third person and thereby causes such serious injury or death to such person or to a third person.
Hazing in the first degree is a class D felony.

120.17. Hazing in the second degree
A person is guilty of hazing in the second degree when, in the course of another person's initiation or affiliation with any organization, he or she intentionally or recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of physical injury to such other person or a third person and thereby causes such injury.
Hazing in the second degree is a class E felony.

120.28. Hazing in the third degree
A person is guilty of hazing in the third degree when, in the course of another person's initiation or affiliation with any organization, he or she intentionally or recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of physical injury to such other person or a third person.
Hazing in the third degree is a class A misdemeanor.
