Reporting an Incident

From time to time, organizations may allegedly be in violation of policy and/or procedure. In these cases, individuals may report alleged violations through the following means. Please note that reporting through these means should consider the totality of involvement of and organization and not alleged violations of individuals.

To report violations of the Student Code of Conduct by individual students, please contact the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities.

WIU Student Organization Misconduct & Incident Reporting

The WIU Student Organization Misconduct & Incident Report form can be submitted anonymously (but is not preferred to be) and is intended to be used regarding allegations of chapters violating University and/or Governing Council policies. 

Resolution of allegations of violations of University policies by registered FSL organizations may be delegated to the Office of Student Engagement for investigation and resolution. When so delegated, the Director of the Office of Student Engagement or designee will hold a conference to determine whether the organization is in violation and, if so, whether recognition should be withdrawn by the University or lesser sanctions imposed on the organization.

WIU Hazing Reporting

This form can be filled out anonymously and is intended to be used specifically for hazing allegations. Only with your permission will your identity be disclosed to the individuals or group in question. Your identity will be held in confidence. You may submit this form anonymously; however, doing so may limit the ability of Western Illinois University to fully investigate the incident. You may be asked to submit an official statement on this matter, and/or the case may be passed on to Student Judicial Programs.

All reports of hazing shall include a detailed description of the events that have transpired, the names of any individuals involved, and a description of any actions taken by the organization. Upon receiving the report, the University will proceed as described in this policy.

Retaliating or threatening retaliation against an individual who has reported or filed a complaint alleging hazing or participated as a witness in such an investigation is strictly prohibited. Individuals who disregard or delay the investigation of hazing claims when responsibility for reporting and/or investigating hazing charges comprises part of their supervisory duties also violate this policy.

Inter/National Headquarters Reporting

Each inter/national organization has a specific person and/or process for reporting incidents. Please locate the National Headquarters Website link on our chapter pages to access that information.

National Anti-Hazing Hotline
1-888-NOT-HAZE (1-888-668-4293) 

               **Note the National Anti-Hazing Hotline is an external entity not directly affiliated with Western Illinois University**

The Greek Anti-Hazing Hotline, established in 2007 by a consortium of national fraternities and sororities, is currently sponsored by 47 national and international Greek organizations.

The Hotline provides an anonymous telephone line for anyone to report a suspected or recent hazing incident to one number 1-888-NOT-HAZE (1-888-668-4293) that accepts calls 24 hours a day. The Hotline connects to a dedicated voice mailbox at Manley Burke, LPA. The calls are automatically saved as audio files that are then transmitted by e-mail to the headquarters of the fraternity or sorority named in the report. This is true whether or not the reports are about one of the sponsors or another organization. In some instances, reports are about athletic teams, bands or clubs. When those calls are received, the institution where the organization is located is contacted.
