My H.S. hazing story
In high school there was something you could be initiated into, a secret society or underground sorority, if you will. You had to be "chosen" to join. The sophomores aka "Sophomore Misses" extend invitations to the freshman, juniors aka "Junior Ladies" extend to sophomores, and seniors aka "Senior Women" extend to juniors. You cannot join as a senior. If you were initiated as a freshman, you were initiated into Freshman Girls. Your sophomore year you were automatically a part of Sophomore Misses, etc.
I was initiated as a sophomore into Sophomore Misses. What the Junior Ladies did that year is get a list of all sophomores who were extended an invite to join. They assign to each Junior Lady 1 or 2 sophomores to pick up from their home before initiation. They drove us to someone's house where we all met. (There were tons of cars, mind you. The boys of the junior class came along to watch) Before getting to our meeting spot, some of the juniors took the sophomores that they had to go "shopping" for embarrassing items. The juniors could also have done stuff to them, such as making them wear their bras on the outside, etc. Luckily the junior who picked me up was super nice and did nothing to me prior to arriving at the meeting house. When we got to the meeting house, we were put into the back of pick-up trucks. Since the junior who picked me up drove a Mustang, I had to leave her since I would be getting dirty. The good thing is that I was put in the pick-up truck of the Junior Lady who had invited me to join, one of my good friends. She didn't make us do anything stupid, other than give her chihuahua dog a kiss! Most other sophomores there had lipstick put all over their face, Crisco in their hair, tampons hanging from their ears and tons of other things.
All pick-up trucks go to the same location, out in the middle of nowhere. They lay out a tarp on the ground and make us all lay next to each other, like sardines. They pour tons of junk all over us - eggs, flour, sardines, pickles, hot dogs, ketchup, mustard, peanut butter and tons of other junk. Some of the girls even had to pretend to be giving the junior guys oral pleasure. Fortunately, I was not! After all this is done, they drive us all to a car wash and spray us down. Then, they go and drop us off back home and afterwards there is a party.
FUNNY THING ABOUT JOINING:
We do nothing together after that! There was talk about having a party per semester. Yeah right! They did do football boosters my junior year. There were about 3 girls to each member on the 1st string football team. Before school on the day of each game the girls met with the guy and gave him treats. I didn't do this because I was in band and had a little sis to get things for every game. We were supposed to have a graduation party, yeah right! It was all a bunch of bull.
The ONE thing we did do: make t-shirts every year so that we could "represent."
Basically, you were initiated just to say that you were in Freshman Girls, Sophomore Misses, Junior Ladies or Senior Women. If you were initiated then you were part of the "popular" crowd.
