I felt like I was on line for 8 years before I got my Ph.D. Then I wondered what all the HAYLE was for afterward.
Then for my first post-doctoral experience in Dallas, Texas, if you failed to participate in the "journal club" in our field, you were ostracized by both the faculty and the other post-docs... Needless to say, I fully participated in "journal club".

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! I would have to agree. When I was working towrds my Masters and PhD I would say I was academically hazed. So. True. Some in grad school were hazed, some were not...go figure. For example, the 'big' presentation in my department when working towrds my PhD was to present your research during summer seminar. It was mandatory for some students, but not all. It was so obvious what was going on.
I think grad school hazing has more to do with trying to weed some people out. Here again, it sometimes has to do with esoteric issues.
