The hazing process in all walks of life is, I think, a simple human reaction. It is having a bit of fun, but at the same time encouraging the trust of a newcomer. You have some fun with them, and in the process that person becomes part of the group. It is a basic element of human interaction.

Wait, what?! I've never been hazed at a job (or anywhere else for that matter). I'm sure it happens, but definitely not everywhere.
Maybe hazing is a basic element of human interaction in some circles -- but not in others. Personally, I think that anything to do with hazing (doing the hazing or being hazed) is a huge sign of weakness and incredibly pathetic -- it's outside my reality sphere, just like it's inside yours.
