[WSO] Information Regarding Hazing

[Shu, Ye]

Hello WSO Members,

As the leader of WSO, I'm now sharing with you the link to the Anti-Hazing
section of the Williams College Student Handbook, found at
https://dean.williams.edu/student-handbook/hazing/.

Its opening paragraphs are as follows: "Hazing is prohibited by the College
and is subject to the College rules on disciplinary proceedings.  Hazing is
defined as any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a
group that humiliates, intimidates, demeans, abuses or endangers them
regardless of a person’s willingness to participate.  Hazing also includes
soliciting, directing, aiding, or otherwise participating actively or
passively in the above acts.

"Due to the socially coercive nature of hazing, the College looks beyond
implied or expressed consent to acts of hazing."

Please know that WSO does not tolerate hazing of any kind. If you are
curious what types of activities may be categorized as hazing, there is an
extensive list in the link to Student Handbook
<https://dean.williams.edu/student-handbook/hazing/>.

Hope you are enjoying WSO activities so far and hope you have a good
weekend!

Best,
Ye
