No real horror stories from my GLO, but during initiation to a auxiliary of an ROTC group, we being led blindfolded into a room carrying lit candles.
Blindfolds
Crowded, narrow corridor
Nervous, giggling freshmen women
Open flames
Farrah Fawcett "wings" with hairspray
= Risk Management nightmare.
The smell of burning hair electrified the few people in the room who were able to see, and brawny ROTC men soon "put out" the poor girl in front of me after I managed to catch her on fire. For the rest of the year, every time I saw her, with her thinning spot, just to the left of her ear, I felt sooooooo guilty. Fortunately, she was unhurt, but I understand why groups don't allow open flames anymore.
The next year, initiation was changed a bit.......and I became known as "Sparky the Wonder Girl"
