Dear Students,  

Over the past week, the University of Oregon received more than one report of potential hazing associated with Greek organizations on campus.   

Hazing isn't only physical abuse. It can include psychological stress, humiliation, forced consumption of substances, or coerced participation in illegal or degrading activities.  Everyone has a right to say no to anything that makes them uncomfortable or unsafe. Familiarize yourself with the campus reporting tools and support services listed below and help spread the word. The University maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards hazing.  

Hazing is a violation of the student conduct code and has no place in our campus community.  For more information about what constitutes hazing and its dangerous effects, please visit the university’s hazing prevention webpage, https://dos.uoregon.edu/hazing-prevention.  Participation in student organizations should be a positive, enriching experience—one that fosters personal growth, connection, and a sense of belonging.  

You can report hazing by contacting the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards by calling 541-346-1140, emailing conduct@uoregon.edu, or completing this online form. You can make an anonymous report via RealResponse by texting 541-313-4357 or scanning this QR code:

Party Safety Tips:  If you see something  as a bystander, you can help prevent harm. 

1. Notice the behavior.
2. Recognize it’s a problem.
3. Take responsibility.
4. Choose how to act—directly intervene, distract, delegate to someone else, or discuss afterward. 

If You’re Worried About a Friend 
Hazing and coercion can cause anger, fear, confusion, and self-blame. You can help by: 

• Expressing concern and describing what you’ve noticed (e.g., mood changes, exhaustion).
• Asking what they’ve experienced while joining a group.
• Reminding them hazing is never okay, and they can leave at any time.
• Offering support and connecting them with help.

Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students,  

The University of Oregon is participating in the Great Oregon ShakeOut earthquake drill today. We are asking that you take time today to practice "Drop, Cover, and Hold On”:  

1. DROP to the ground,
2. COVER your head and neck with your arms and seek additional shelter by getting under a sturdy desk or table if nearby; and
3. HOLD ON to your shelter and be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops. 

To learn more about earthquakes in Oregon and what you can do to prepare, please review the following resources:

• UO Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT)
• UO Oregon Hazards Lab (OHAZ)
• UO Earthquake Safety Resources
• Sign up for Shake Alert Earthquake Early Warning

Thank You,
