  • Hazing is not tolerated in our community. Virginia Tech defines hazing as "any mental or physical requirement, request, or obligation placed upon any person that could cause discomfort, pain, fright, disgrace or injury; that is personally degrading; or that violates any federal, state, or local statute or university policy, the willingness of an individual to participate in such activity notwithstanding. A person is defined as a university student, any associate member, member, affiliate, alumnus, guest of any campus organization, or other individual."
  • To report hazing to the Student Conduct Office, please use their Hazing Reporting form.
  • Suspicious or criminal activity can be reported directly to the Virginia Tech Police (230 Sterrett Drive, 540-231-6411). If you are a victim of larceny, vandalism, damage or destruction of property, or annoying phone calls, you can file a report online at police.vt.edu/crime.
