Article VI. Tap Club Council Advisor The Tap Club Council advisor shall be the Director of Student Involvement & Programs. Article VII: Violations Hazing a. “Hazing” means: To recklessly or intentionally endanger the health or safety of a student or students, or to inflict bodily injury on a student or students in connection with, or for the purpose of initiation, admission into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in a club, organization, association, fraternity, sorority, or student body, regardless of whether the student or students so endangered or injured participated voluntarily in the relevant activity. VA Code §18.2-56. b. The College has a moral and ethical obligation to punish hazing when it occurs. Sweet Briar has a legal obligation to deal with hazing as well. Under Virginia law: i. It shall be unlawful to haze, or otherwise mistreat so as to cause bodily injury, any student at any school, college, or university. Any person found guilty thereof shall be found guilty of a Class I misdemeanor. Any person receiving bodily injury by hazing or mistreatment shall have a right to sue, civilly, the person or persons guilty thereof. VA Code §18.2-56 IMPORTANT - As with sexual harassment and other forms of assault, an individual cannot legally consent to hazing. At no time will implied or actual consent to participate in an activity by those being hazed be considered a valid defense to a hazing charge. The hazing does not have to take place on Sweet Briar’s campus in order for the Policy on Hazing to apply. To fulfill its moral, ethical, and legal obligations, the College has adopted a Policy on Hazing and Standards of Group Behavior which describes Sweet Briar’s policies and processes for identifying and punishing hazing. Each Tap Club will sign the Policy on Hazing and Standards of Group Behavior each year and place a copy on file with the Office of Student Involvement & Programs. Additional copies of the complete policy can be obtained online or by contacting the office of Student Involvement & Programs. Alleged hazing infractions will be investigated and heard through the Non-Academic Infractions process. Absences and Consistency a. The President of every Tap Club must be present at every meeting. If a President cannot attend a meeting they must inform the Tap Club Council President with their excuse and ensure that a representative comes in their place. Even an excused absence is an absence. b. The first absence will result in a verbal warning by the Tap Club Executive board in a meeting. This meeting is to remind the President ______________________________________________________ 36
that her attendance is important and to inform her of the important information given out at the missed meeting c. The second absence will result in removal from her office as President. a) She will have to inform her Tap Club of her absences and hold emergency elections so that a new President can attend future meetings.
