Learn how to recognize hazing, about its harmful and serious effects hazing and what students can do to prevent hazing and hazing-related deaths.

NIC Town Hall on Hazing: Spring 2021
Over the past week, there have been two deaths allegedly related to fraternity hazing activity. Following these, the NIC organized a Town Hall tonight for Interfraternity Council presidents and advisors, fraternity staff and volunteers, and fraternity chapter presidents to discuss these developments and critical steps that every fraternity community should be taking at this time and steps you can take to assist in preventing hazing. This Town Hall included health & safety and risk management experts and parents who have lost their sons to hazing.
Panhellenic & IFC Parent Clubs
At USC, the Intersorority Parents Council (ISPC) serves the Panhellenic Council community and the Interfraternity Parents Council (IFPC) serves the Interfraternity Council Community and was created by Panhellenic & IFC families. Panhellenic & IFC parent clubs are managed through the chapters as USC and FSLD do not lead or manage operations.
ISPC and IFPC are parent volunteer organizations who provide annual scholarships to Panhellenic & IFC members. Additionally, ISPC & IFPC provide parent programming featuring prominent speakers who cover topics relevant to the fraternity and sorority experience and USC Community. All parents and friends of USC fraternity and sorority members are invited to attend.
ISPC & IFPC welcomed President Carol. L Folt to join the parent community and hear from student leaders. We invite you to listen along to the recording of the event.
