Over the last few weeks, numerous reports of alleged hazing, bullying and toxic cultures among sports teams at Northwestern University have surfaced, resulting in terminations of two head coaches and a series of lawsuits filed against the university.
The sports programs — including Northwestern's football, baseball and volleyball teams — have been mentioned in a growing number of complaints dating back to the last few years, as the university says it is committed to investigating any claims or evidence of hazing within its athletic programs.
"Hazing in any form is unacceptable and goes against our core values at Northwestern, where we strive to make the University a safe and welcoming environment for all of our students," Northwestern President Michael Schill said in a July 7 statement.

"Experts on hazing prevention say the backlash that Northwestern sports programs are facing over the allegations of hazing and toxic culture could possibly lead to a major shift in how colleges and universities respond to incidents on campus."

There is no place for hazing on college teams or fraternities/sororities, IMHO!
