Emergencies and concerns for health and safety should always be reported immediately to law enforcement by calling:

WSSU Police and Public Safety (emergency line): 336-750-2911

WSSU Police and Public Safety (non-emergency line): 336-750-2900

If you are off-campus and this is an emergency, call your local law enforcement or dial 911.

Online Reporting 

WSSU offers an Incident Reporting Form for students, faculty, and staff to report hazing and other forms of misconduct. This is a safe way to report incidents without revealing your identity if you prefer to remain anonymous.

  • What you’ll need: Include as much information as possible, such as dates, locations, individuals involved, and a description of what happened.
  • If you’re concerned about privacy or fear retaliation, you can submit an anonymous report. Send an anonymous text to (336) 750-3390. Your identity will be protected.

What to expect: Someone will reach out to you to learn more about the information you reported and provide you with information about next steps and support resources.

WSSU Police and Public Safety

If you believe the hazing incident is an emergency, involves immediate harm, or requires law enforcement intervention, WSSU Police and Public Safety is available 24/7 to assist.

What to expect: WSSU Police and Public Safety will assess the situation, provide immediate assistance if needed, and initiate an investigation if necessary. They can help with both legal and safety-related concerns.

Office of the Dean of Students

The Office of the Dean of Students plays a key role in investigating and resolving cases of hazing, misconduct, and other student-related issues. This office handles cases of hazing and will investigate the incident to determine if it violates university policy pertaining to student behaviors.

What to expect: The Office of the Dean of Students will conduct a formal investigation, and depending on the findings, disciplinary action may be taken against individuals or organizations involved in hazing.

Counseling Services

If you’ve experienced hazing or trauma and need emotional or psychological support, Counseling Services offers confidential counseling services to students.

What to expect: The Counseling Center will provide a safe and supportive environment to help you process your feelings, trauma, and experiences. Counselors can also assist you in deciding the next steps and reporting options.

University Student Activities and Engagement

If the hazing is occurring within a student organization or group (e.g., a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or other student club), you can report the incident to the organization’s advisor or the organization’s leadership.

  • University Student Activities and Engagement (USAE): If the hazing is related to a student group, they can offer guidance on resolving the issue and promoting positive group behavior.
    Email: campuslife@wssu.edu 
    Website: USAE
  • Athletics: If the hazing is related to membership in University athletics, they can offer guidance on resolving the issue and promoting positive group behavior.
    Phone: (336) 750-2141
    Website: Athletics

What to expect: The advisor or group leader is responsible for ensuring that the group adheres to university policies, and they will assist in resolving the issue. Additionally, reporting to a leader can help prevent further hazing incidents from happening.
