Accountability

Upholding Accountability, Safety and Respect

At Lincoln University of Missouri, fraternity and sorority life is built on a foundation of accountability, transparency and integrity. Our community is united by shared values that promote safe, respectful and enriching environments where students are empowered to grow as scholars, leaders and responsible citizens.

Hazing Has No Place at Lincoln University 

Lincoln University is unequivocally committed to maintaining a campus culture rooted in dignity, inclusion and mutual respect. Hazing—in any form—is strictly prohibited. It violates university policy, Missouri state law, federal law and national fraternity and sorority regulations. We take every report of hazing seriously to ensure the safety, well-being and trust of all students involved in our campus community.

Understanding Hazing: Definition and Examples

Under federal law, hazing is defined as:

Any intentional, knowing or reckless act committed by a person, whether individually or in concert with others, against another person or persons—regardless of that person’s willingness to participate—that occurs during an initiation into, affiliation with or the maintenance of membership in an organization, and causes or creates a risk beyond reasonable expectations of college participation of physical or psychological injury.
