Subtle hazing typically involves activities or attitudes that breach reasonable standards of mutual respect and place new members/rookies on the receiving end of ridicule, embarrassment, and/or humiliation tactics. New members/rookies often feel the need to endure subtle hazing to feel like part of the group or team. (Some types of subtle hazing may also be considered harassment hazing).
Some Examples:
* Deception
* Assigning demerits
* Silence periods with implied threats for violation
* Deprivation of privileges granted to other members
* Requiring new members/rookies to perform duties not assigned to other members
* Socially isolating new members/rookies
* Line-ups and Drills/Tests on meaningless information
* Name calling
* Requiring new members/rookies to refer to other members with titles (e.g. “Mr.,” “Miss”) while they are identified with demeaning terms
* Expecting certain items to always be in one's possession
