Podcasts about hazingprevention

HazingInfo.org is a partnership between StopHazing, the University of Maine, and the University of Washington Information School, along with founders Jolayne Houtz and Hector Martinez, who lost their son, Sam, to hazing in 2019. Sam Martinez was a 19-year-old business student at Washington State University in 2019 when he was hazed to death just weeks into his freshman year. Sam was funny and spontaneous, a loyal friend, a gifted athlete, a youth coach and a loving son and brother. Jolayne and Hector launched HazingInfo.org in partnership with students from the University of Washington Information School to ensure incoming college students and their families have current, accurate information about student organizations so they can make informed decisions about whether to join. Jolayne and Hector are actively working to change policies at the state and national levels to expand education and training about hazing prevention and to increase transparency about and accountability for hazing incidents. In episode 566 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out more about Sam Martinez, what concerns Jolayne had when Sam said he wanted to join a Fraternity, what information Jolayne was able to find about the fraternities on campus through her own research, what happened to Sam on the day he died in 2019, what Jolayne was able to determine from her investigation into hazing reporting, how she felt when the Stop Campus Hazing Act passed into federal law, what are the warning signs of hazing, how we can encourage more college campuses to be transparent about hazing on their campus, how we can get students to come forward and report hazing, how students can honor Sam's memory, and what gives Jolayne hope for the future.

The problem with an independent IFC is something that needs to be discussed. Jim Piazza is the father of Tim Piazza, who died as a result of a fraternity hazing event in February 2017. Jim and his wife, Evelyn, are natives of New Jersey and have become anti-hazing advocates since their son's passing. In that role, they are working with universities and national fraternities to make Greek life safer. In episode 551 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out all the details of what happened to Tim Piazza in February of 2017 at Penn State University, whether Jim feels that justice was served, whether the Timothy Piazza Anti-Hazing Law will be effective in deterring students from engaging in hazing behavior, what his reaction was when the Stop Campus Hazing Act passed into federal law, how we can get students to come forward and report hazing incidents, why Jim was so disappointed when he saw the independent IFC form at Penn State, Jim's advice to other students considering an independent IFC on other campuses, what questions students (and parents) should be asking when they join a fraternity or sorority, and what else we can be doing to eliminate hazing.

Are we going to end hazing? To answer that question, we turned to Dr. Carolyn Eastlin, the Director of Institutional Equity at Oklahoma City Community College. Dr. Eastlin earned a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership from the Educational Foundations and Leadership Department at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She also obtained a Master of Science in Education in Adult Education from the Counseling Adult and Higher Education Department and Bachelor of General Studies from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Northern Illinois University. Dr. Eastlin's research interests include: (1) Hazing within Black Greek-letter organizations (BGLOs); (2) The effect of state anti-hazing statues on BGLOs; and (3) How hazing deaths effect BGLOs group decision making. She aspires to use this knowledge to create anti-hazing trainings and leadership trainings that elicit an emotional response that results in changed behaviors within BGLOs and other multicultural organizations. Email her at: ceastlin@thececollaborative.net In episode 491 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why she chose Northern Illinois for her undergraduate and Masters collegiate experience, why she chose Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., what she would do differently about her experience as NPHC President, what are her responsibilities as Director of Institutional Equity at Oklahoma City Community College, how we can make our Fraternities and Sororities more welcoming for students with disabilities, how we can make our fraternities and sororities more diverse, are we going to end hazing in college fraternities and sororities, and how students without positions in their organizations can still be leaders. Enjoy!

Dr. John W. McAllister is a productive and recognized higher education scholar with professional experience in Graduate education, Blindness and visual impairments, Graduate Education Program Coordination, student affairs, academic program administration, and disability services management. Dr. McAllister maintains an active research agenda that examines race, gender, and disabilities in American higher education, diversity issues in colleges access and achievement; the effects of education policies and campus environments on racial/ethnic minority student outcomes; and access to programs and accommodations for students with disabilities. He also participates in multiple higher education and Blind and visually impaired professional associations via committees and certification and continuing education programs. In episode 426 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how moving to the white neighborhood of Ferguson, Missouri impacted Dr. McAllister as a child, why working with students who have disabilities is a lifelong passion, what his definition of student success is and how fraternities and sororities help student success, why he decided on Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. as a student organization, how do we change the narrative of Fraternities and Sororities to be more in line with our values, how we can make our student organizations more accessible to students with disabilities, what are his responsibilities at University of Arkansas at Little Rock as program coordinator for Rehab of the Blind, and how do we get more diversity among tenured professors on college campuses. Enjoy!

On February 2, 2017, 19-year-old Tim Piazza accepted a bid to join the Beta Theta Pi fraternity at Penn State. His first night of pledging would be the last of his life. In this episode, we'll talk to Tim's mom, Evelyn Piazza, and former Beta brother Kordel Davis to uncover the abuse, negligence, and cultic dynamics that resulted in Tim's death, and the cover up that came next.

Our next guest is Sydney Newby, a Bowling Green State University sorority member who was honored with the first Stone Foltz memorial award for taking action against Greek Life hazing. Foltz was pledging to Pi Kappa Alpha at just 20 years old. Sydney says it's a loss she never wants to see happen again, and she's taken it upon herself to educate sorority members on campus. On episode 239 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Sydney chose Bowling Green State University, what was special about the sisters of Sigma Kappa that made her want to join, what she and the students were experiencing when Stone Foltz (a BGSU student who passed away on March 7, 2021) died as a result of hazing, how Sydney was able to work through the loss of her Nana and Grandpa passing away and then focus on making a difference, what the hazing prevention workshops looked like when she was VP of Standards for Panhellenic, what the moment felt like when she was awarded the first Stone Foltz Community of Care Award, when hazing will end, how we can leverage social media to help us defeat hazing, effective replacement activities if we know hazing is happening in our chapter, and steps students should take if they see hazing happening on their campus.

Like many college students, Chad joined a fraternity. He experienced the time-honored ritual of hazing. As a college junior, he challenged his fraternity chapter's culture of hazing and found himself fearing for his safety. This set his future path in motion. Chad left the experience consumed by the idea that organizations can ignite, rather than inhibit, the growth and individual potential of every one of their members. He has used this precarious experience to become a leader in the field of hazing prevention.In graduate school, Chad conducted and published an original research study on perceptions of hazing, which led him to serve as President of the Board of Directors for the non-profit organization HazingPrevention.Org. In 2007, Chad was named an Anti-Hazing Hero by HazingPrevention.Org, and in 2010, he received one of two awards that year for Outstanding Greek Life Professionals by the Fraternity Information & Programming Group (FIPG).

Today, on New Year's Day, we have with us Brian Warren Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. SigEp is a valued partner in higher education that delivers a premier student experience. Brian is responsible for leading the Headquarters staff in implementing SigEp's strategic plan. He works with the National Board, SigEp National Housing and Education Foundation trustees to ensure SigEp is meeting its goals and providing the best possible experience for its brothers. Brian also collaborates with other organizations and their leadership to help advance the entire fraternity and sorority community. In episode number 200 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why the University of Virginia was the right university for Brian, what was special about the Virginia Eta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity that made him want to join, how SigEp's Learning Communities are different from the traditional fraternity experience, how the fraternity/sorority community can help prevent sexual assaults and hazing on college campuses, what we can do to strengthen the relationship between the headquarters and our host institutions, how the Balanced Man Program became the gold standard in our industry, how we can revolutionize how fraternity is done despite the some members of the organization wanting to stay true to "the way we've always done it", how SigEp builds a culture of giving, and more about recruitment and retention during the pandemic. Enjoy!

Every September, HazingPrevention.org holds National Hazing Prevention Week to create and share awareness about the dangers of hazing. An instrumental figure in tracking hazing deaths is Hank Nuwer. On the old Eddie Francis Podcast Show, we talked to professional mental health counselors Leslie Brown and Von Eaglin about the psychology of hazing, particularly in the Divine Nine. As a member of a Divine Nine fraternity--Alpha Phi Alpha--I thought it important to talk to a couple of counselors who speak our language, and both came through with great insight about what goes through the mind of potential hazers. Leslie is no stranger to "For Our Edification". A member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., she appeared on episode 4, "The Mental Health Benefits of Giving". Leslie is a relational counselor with extensive experience working with military veterans, veterans' families, and women/families in substance abuse recovery. She is a doctoral candidate at Barry University where her research interests include the evolution of families, polyamory families, race/class/gender and cultural competency as well as indigenous, and traditional mental health healing modalities. Leslie earned her bachelor's degree from Hampton University in Mass Media Arts and her Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Thomas University (Fla).   Von is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. who talks about positive psychology on One Life Radio. Von earned his bachelor's degree in Business Administration and master's degree in Education at the University of North Texas. He has experience working with physically and sexually abused youth, couples, men’s issues, anger management, adolescents, depression, anxiety, and addictions. Von is currently a doctoral candidate at the North Texas where his research focuses on formulating a new approaches to couples therapy using men’s groups.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast series Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Dr. Gregory Parks to discuss hazing on college campuses.   Dr. Parks is a professor of law at Wake Forest University; has written and contributed to numerous books relating to hazing in Greek Life on college campuses; and has researched hazing in traditionally African American Fraternities. In today’s discussion Dr. Parks and Aaron talk about all of the recent hazing cases that have happened and what we can do to prevent more from happening.   Dr. Parks tells Aaron, in his research he has found that traditionally white fraternities tend to haze using alcohol while traditionally African American fraternities tend to haze using violence. He goes on to explain, even though many states have laws against this behavior, the schools need to do a better job emphasizing them. “Laws are only effective when people know they exist.” Dr. Parks tells us.   In addition to being a professor of law at Wake Forest University, Dr. Parks is on the board of an organization called Hazingprevention.org which aims to put an end to hazing and hazing culture in college fraternities and sororities. You can learn more about HazingPrevention.org and their mission by visiting their website.   To learn more about Dr. Parks you can visit his website http://gregoryparks.net/.   Remember to tune in every Friday for new episodes of Good Law | Bad Law!   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Dr. Gregory Parks   Follow Freiwald Law: Twitter: @FreiwaldLaw Facebook: @FreiwaldLaw Youtube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @goodlawbadlaw Website: http://www.freiwaldlaw.com
