Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive and inferential quantitative research design was to examine the differences in attitudes and beliefs about hazing activities within Black Greek letter organizations (BGLOs). While previous research has highlighted the existence of hazing activities and practices in BGLOs, there is a gap in understanding the perceptions and attitudes of Black males who have participated in these activities (Samson, 2021; Schiffer et al., 2022). To address this gap, a quantitative survey research design was employed to investigate the attitudes and beliefs among Black males at both a selected historically Black colleges and universities and a predominantly White institution. Variables assessed included age, educational level, and the attitudes and beliefs of Black male members of BGLOs. The findings within this study revealed that when age increases, the support for hazing decreases. In addition, participants with a bachelor’s degree differ from those with master’s and doctorates. Those with bachelor’s degrees are somewhat more positive about hazing. In reference to the attitudes and beliefs about hazing of Black male members of BGLOs, the findings represented that the respondents, which came from two different institutions: one historically Black college and university and one predominantly White institution, were not significant.
