This discussion guide was created by the Gordie Center in collaboration with Forever Forward Project to accompany the Project's free educational film The Lonely Dog. The film is inspired by Alasdair Russell's story, is 15 minutes long, and is intended to generate discussion about what constitutes hazing, why members feel so much pressure to participate, what makes it so difficult to challenge “tradition,” and how to take positive steps to make the pledging process a true bonding experience. The film and discussion guide are free for schools, families, and communities to use in their hazing prevention efforts.
