It's only illegal if you get caught. My HS didn't have fraternity's and sororities, (well we sort of did) there were these two organizations called "Men's club" and "Pep Club". I've talked about it on other threads. This was (and still is) FACULTY sponsored and I'm pretty sure the tradition goes pretty far back. Essentially the groups haze incoming freshman. Freshman at my old HS were treated basically like dirt. They actually have a hell week. On the final day they have to come to school dressed a certain way... This was a long time ago for me but I remember that the pep club wannabees had to wear a white t-shirt, green skirt, six pigtails and paint their faces with spots like a dog. As I recall they had to get 20 signatures from seniors for doing whatever they were told to do.

Men's club was suspended my second year after the freshman kids were taken out to this field where everyone would drink and made to strip naked and jog in a circle. They came back the next year though.. The school was VERY tradition oriented.

To the best of my knowledge all of this still goes on. I can only imagine what would happen if the faculty of my CURRENT school got wind that we did anything even close to resembling those things...
