I am a high school senior getting ready to graduate (yea!!)..anyway I guessed I was hazed and hazed others although I have never thought of it like that. I got into the Anchor Club my junior year, and when you get in, you have to do all kinds of little stupid things for the seniors, and then on the last day, they dressed us up in all this ridiculous stuff and we had to wear it all day and sing little songs and stuff at lunch, but all this was fun to me! I never thought of it as hazing.
I was also on the cheerleading and soccer teams for four years, but they never made us do anything. But I do think the guys soccer team hazed, my boyfriend told me they "break in" the new guys, but I don't know what that entails.
Why are these type of things considered hazing? I think its just fun and games and a good way to all come together and bond. I always thought hazing was like beating, yelling or forcing someone to drink large quantities of alcohol and stuff like that but whatever, I dont know much about the subject.
