AFA statement link (Association of Fraternity Advisers)

August 10, 2007 By Hank Nuwer Leave a Comment

Moderator: Many impressive individuals (deans and advisers) within the Association of Fraternity Advisers have worked on a Hazing Taskforce and several past Hazing Prevention conferences. I have no doubt the AFA is working hard to help its members behind the scenes. But the Rider case calls for strong commentary and even some adviser guidance from the AFA.

The excellent AFA Hazing link is here. I hope the message below gets edited and revised and made equally strong for its members, particularly those confused and worried about their job choice following the Rider arrests.

The less-effective AFA message follows below — Respectfully, HN

_____________________________

The Association has received many inquiries regarding the current situation at Rider University. It is AFA’s policy to refrain from commenting on legal cases pertaining to individuals. We do, however, follow these cases closely in order to gauge how they may affect our work as fraternity and sorority professionals.AFA is working with ACPA, ACUHO-I, and NASPA in an effort to provide resources to our members as this precedent setting case develops.
If you would like to learn more about the legal case at Rider University, please visit the AFA Online Community to read news stories and participate in discussions regarding this situation.
Our thoughts are with the student affairs professionals not only at Rider University but also across North America as we begin another academic year.

Delta Chi (VCU) and Pi Kappa Alpha (BGSU) By Hank Nuwer

  The year 2020 came and went with no direct hazing deaths in U.S. and North American schools for the first time since the year 1958.
