Hazing Perceptions and Experiences of Students in a Higher Education Institution: Basis for Intervention Program

Author(s) Grace A. Taba

Abstract Hazing remains the leading cause of violence on higher education campuses in the Philippines, despite efforts to prevent it. Many school authorities avoid hazing by imposing moratoriums on Greek letter societies, leading to underground operations. Despite numerous programs urging students to avoid and report such activities, the prevalence of college hazing remains difficult to gauge. This study aims to inform legislators, police officers, higher education institutions, and the community about the importance of anti-hazing laws. A quantitative research study was conducted on 160 students at Palawan State University, using convenience sampling. The results showed that respondents well perceived the severity of hazing, including its potential for traumatic consequences, the problem of causing bodily harm, and the unacceptable nature of hazing activities. However, they rarely experienced hazing acts such as being compelled to remain silent, sing or chant in public, being yelled at, made fun of, forced to participate in drinking games, being pressured to eat something unfavorable, or being required to attend mandatory events. Despite some hazing acts mentioned, the overall pattern indicates that students rarely experience most of the indicators of hazing acts. The study provides valuable insights for future research on hazing and other forms of violence in higher education institutions.
