I've said this before on GC, but I firmly believe that, for many if not most guys, at least, hazing it about much more and goes to something much deeper than "team building and bonding."
Don't get wrong -- to avoid any confusion, I think hazing is wrong and I support my fraternity's policies on hazing.
But I think any "alternative" to hazing may be less than successful if it doesn't meet what I would call the primal need to prove one's self by ordeal -- the same primal urge that symbolically underlies many, many fraternal and masonic-type initiation rituals.
Just my $0.02.
