That was pretty harsh.

As my German teacher says, "The only stupid questions are the ones that you don't ask" If someone in a position of authority (i.e. a teacher) tells you something like this, you would undoubtedly be confused. Be glad she asked about potential hazing rather than just simply believing it. With all the negative media out there (i.e. tv movies, magazine articles, et cetera), she has a right to have some questions. Cheers to the board in general for taking her seriously and answering her questions.
