The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) is pleased to share that the U.S. Senate has passed the Stop Campus Hazing Act through unanimous consent.
“NPC applauds the U.S. Senate’s bipartisan effort to pass the Stop Campus Hazing Act. Every student has the right to learn and thrive in a safe and healthy campus environment and once signed into law, this important legislation will increase transparency about hazing incidents and hopefully prevent future acts on college campuses.”
NPC CEO Dani Weatherford added, “We extend our gratitude to Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Bill Cassidy, Rep. Lucy McBath and Rep. Jeff Duncan, and their staffs, for their leadership in championing this bipartisan legislation. We are also appreciative of the thousands of hours put into advancing this work by the collegiate and alumnae members of our organizations. For several years, our members have advocated for this bill on Capitol Hill, and similar bills in state capitols across the nation. Today’s passage is a monumental step forward in protecting college students and eliminating hazing from college campuses.”
The bill will now move to The White House for President Joe Biden to sign it into law.
