Courtney L. White
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Marymount University
On April 11th, 2022, Governor Glenn Youngkin signed an anti-hazing bill in honor of Virginia Commonwealth University freshman, Adam Oakes. Oakes was pledging the Delta Chi fraternity when he died from alcohol poisoning after a fraternity hazing event in February of 2021. Adam's law requires all Virginia universities to implement a hazing prevention training to potential new members, new members, current members, and advisors of student organizations. To date there is limited research on the effectiveness of implementing a hazing prevention education in higher education. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an anti-hazing curriculum among higher education students at three institutions. Convenience sampling was used to collect data due to the willingness of the universities to provide access for this study. Data analysis processes consisted of gathering, analyzing, coding, and developing conclusions based on the findings of this study.
