Facts & Voices is a social media campaign that pairs credible research with powerful quotes to spark conversation and inspire action during National Hazing Prevention Week. Each post combines a compelling message with a statistic, evidence-based fact about hazing or a quote/phrase. Together, these perspectives reinforce that hazing prevention is grounded in both research and real human experience.
The campaign is designed to move audiences beyond awareness by sharing information that is accurate, relatable, and easy to engage with. Campuses and organizations can customize posts with their own branding or feature members of their community alongside nationally recognized voices. Whether highlighting the importance of belonging, leadership, bystander intervention, or healthy team culture, each post encourages followers to reflect, share, and take positive action.
Facts & Voices offers a simple yet meaningful way to keep prevention messages visible throughout the week while building a stronger understanding of what works to prevent hazing. By pairing evidence with authentic voices, the campaign demonstrates that creating cultures of respect, inclusion, and accountability isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s something every member of a campus or organization can help lead. #BeTheLeader
