Event Details
Hazing persists when unhealthy behaviors, trauma bonding, alumni influence, and power dynamics become embedded in fraternity and sorority culture. Grounded in the Hazing Prevention Framework, this session unpacks why harmful practices endure and where prevention efforts often fall short. Using case studies, an examination of social roles and authority, and collaborative strategy-building, participants will move beyond surface-level solutions toward meaningful, systemic culture change.
As a result of attending this program, attendees will…
- Be able to define hazing and identify its psychological, emotional, and cultural impacts.
- Be able to recognize how unhealthy behaviors and trauma within fraternities and sororities contribute to the persistence of hazing.
- Be able to evaluate hazing prevention efforts by applying the Hazing Prevention Framework to identify barriers and develop transparent, effective strategies for lasting culture change aligned with organizational values.

AFA’s Director’s Institute aims to prepare new and aspiring campus-based Directors to lead their departments and communities in a modern higher education and fraternity/sorority landscape.
Moving into a director role means shifting from doing the work to leading it — from managing programs to shaping strategy, navigating campus politics, developing staff, and advocating for your community at the highest levels of your institution. The AFA Director’s Institute is built to guide you through that transition alongside a cohort of peers making the very same leap.
AFA’s Director’s Institute is a six-month long developmental experience that will blend in-person learning experiences with synchronous virtual sessions. The program kicks off at the Annual Meeting (December) and culminates with a multi-day in-person capstone experience on the campus of NC State University in Raleigh, North Carolina (June). To learn more information about the AFA Director’s Institute, please visit https://afa1976.org/education/directors-institute/.
Because so much of the Institute’s value comes from being together, full attendance at both in-person experiences — the AFA Annual Meeting kickoff and the multi-day capstone — is expected of all participants. These gatherings anchor the cohort experience and cannot be replicated virtually. If the dates don’t work for you this cycle, we’d love to welcome you to participate in a future cohort.
