Therein lies the problem - I would assume all hazing begins with the best of intentions to have fun, and "tradition" - but remember, in high school and college, our knowledge of tradition is only 4 years old...and things can slowly turn out of hand.

Leave it to one Senior that has some sort of grudge on one freshman to make it a little harder for that person, then you get the whole class making it harder, and harder, and harder....

I'm not pointing a finger of blame at you- it sounds like things were kept under control. This new situation mushroomed because it took place away from school grounds...
