Wear Purple to Bring Awareness
Your campus or organization can pick a day during NHPW (or the whole week) to wear purple to bring awareness to the issue of hazing.
Awareness Posters
The following posters are designed to bring awareness to hazing prevention. Each is designed to be printed on 11″x17″ paper which is perfect for campus or organizational facilities and houses. Note: “Event” versions of the posters have a block at the bottom for you to write the name of your event, date/time and location.

Plan a Social Media Campaign
This week is a great opportunity for your campus or organization to bring attention to the issue of hazing. We have put together social media graphics and posts to assist in your efforts. You are welcome to use these resources “as is” or customize them for your campus or organization. (HPN members have editable graphics available for quick customization.)
Plan to make a post across your campus/organization social media platforms each day during NHPW. Below are a selection of suggested social media posts and available graphics. Use post/graphics that build an overall message you would like to share (Don’t feel like you need to use every graphic).

🚫 Hazing is never “just tradition.” It’s bullying, coercion, and harm disguised as bonding. Be the one who stops it before someone gets hurt. #BeTheLeader #NHPW2025 #HazingPrevention
🤝 Real leaders protect their people. Speak up if you see hazing. Check in on those who may be experiencing it. Your voice can save someone’s dignity – or their life. #BeTheLeader #NHPW2025 #HazingPrevention
❓ Think hazing is just “no big deal”? Research shows it causes anxiety, depression, PTSD, and even death. Challenge harmful traditions. Build true belonging instead. #BeTheLeader #NHPW2025 #HazingPrevention
💭 Imagine your little sibling going through hazing. Would you stay silent? Stand up for others the way you would for family. #BeTheLeader #NHPW2025 #HazingPrevention
📣 Hazing exists because people stay silent. Break the silence. Take the pledge to prevent hazing today: www.hazingpreventionnetwork.org/pledge #TakeThePledge #BeTheLeader #NHPW2025 #HazingPrevention

✋ If you’ve ever felt pressured to do something humiliating or dangerous to “belong,” that’s hazing. You deserve better. Everyone does. #BeTheLeader #NHPW2025 #HazingPrevention
