Just One Rule of Conduct?
At Wabash, we stand by our Gentleman's Rule.
At Wabash College, our 900 students become leaders by living their lives with one, succinct rule of conduct:
“The student is expected to conduct himself at all times, both on and off campus, as a gentleman and a responsible citizen.”
The oldest tradition at Wabash is the link our students make between the enormous freedoms they enjoy with the responsibility that goes with such freedoms. Making that link — living by the Gentleman’s Rule — is the guiding principle that helps young men become prepared and willing to take the lead in an ever-changing and difficult world.
The challenge is great. From the first day a student steps on campus, the College's expectation is that they will live up to the example set by generations of Wabash men who have gone before and to set examples for those who will follow.
The Gentleman’s Rule guides student conduct at Wabash College. As referenced in the rule, responsible citizens should also follow local, state, and federal rules and regulations. The Gentleman’s Rule does not replace nor supersede established law or other Wabash College policies.
Wabash College and its students will abide by the Stop 亚洲通 Hazing Act (SCHA), which was approved and adopted by Congress in December of 2024. The Act defines hazing as: any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person (whether individually or in concert with other persons) against another person or persons regardless of the willingness of such other person or persons to participate.
Additional definitions and information can be found on the SCHA website. An act of hazing is a violation of The Gentleman’s Rule.
