Inquiry. Insight. Action.
The Timothy J. Piazza Center for Fraternity and Sorority Research at Penn State turns critical questions into change for the fraternity and sorority community. Through rigorous research on hazing, leadership, belonging, and accountability, the Center supports chapters and campuses in building safer, healthier, and more impactful experiences for every member. At its core, the work isn’t just about data—it’s about creating environments where students learn, lead, and belong.
Proactive. Effective. Comprehensive.
The Timothy J. Piazza Center for Fraternity and Sorority Research is dedicated to transformative change and saving lives. Our research-driven approach targets the underlying factors of hazing while promoting healthier fraternities, sororities, student organizations, and athletic programs to build safer and stronger campus communities.
