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.

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.

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).
