Gary DeVercelly
Gary DeVercelly, along with his wife, Julie, has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the dangers of hazing since the death of their oldest son, Gary Jr., as a result of a fraternity hazing ‘ritual’. The DeVercellys enacted unprecedented change at Rider University, where Gary Jr. was enrolled at the time of his death, revolutionizing the way Rider manages their Greek organizations. In 2014 the DeVercellys, with Clery Center, produced the award-winning documentary, We Don’t Haze. They speak at high schools and universities across the country about hazing and advocate in Washington, D.C., for a federal hazing bill. Gary is self-employed and serves on Clery Center’s board of directors. The DeVercellys live in Long Beach, CA, where they raised their three children, Gary Jr., Emily, and Noah.
