The National Anti-Hazing Hotline is an anonymous reporting system for suspected incidents of hazing by North American college fraternities and sororities. It was created by a collaborative of 21 American Greek letter organizations in 2007 and currently involves 47 national and international groups. The hotline is independently monitored by the law firm Manley Burke.
The National Anti-Hazing Hotline was established in 2007 by 21 American collegiate fraternities and sororities.
