Hazing History
Hello Everyone.
My name is tori, im a senior and currently doing my senior project on hazing. Im going against it for several reasons. I need some backround information on hazing back in the days. I cant seem to find any info but i read on here some where that it started back in WW2. Is there any more info out there that would help me with my Research Paper? I would kindly appriciate it. And please if you do find something or know something, please add a source.
Thanks again!

(I'm really bothered by the errors in this post.)
Hello, Tori. There is a plethora of research accessible via scholarly search engines that your school has access to. Google also has a lot of information but tread lightly because anyone can create a website. If you find something on a website that is not an actual article, look for the citations and read the actual references.

Much of the information on hazing that you will find online is reactionary and very opinionated, lacking in facts. READ A BOOK.

Wouldn't your library be a better source then a random website?

If you need a good lead, you might try talking to real people about their own hazing experiences. Everyone has organized alumni associations, so if what you're after is anecdotal stuff, one of these alumni associations could probably get you in touch with some of their more aged alumni.

Just one example of why you shouldn't trust everything you read on a random website. You'll also read on here that Alpha Chi Omega's badge is on the moon and that all but 3 (maybe 4 now?) US Presidents since 1825 have been members of fraternities.
GreekChat is just full of inaccurate information.

 This is a peer reviewed and scholar refereed site where we cite and excite.

Hazing is bad.
The end.

I believe roots of hazing go back atleast as far as Emperor Justinian of the Byzantine Empire. A librarian at a library will show you how to do research if you dont know how.

I'll see your Justinian and raise you a few Spartans.
Meanwhile torr, Harvard expelled a student for hazing in 1657, which I think predates WWII. (See? A source for you.)

I think she is one of the many people who thinks hazing is a strictly fraternal happening.

THIS.IS.SPARTAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Hazing has existed for as long as any kind of group relationships existed. However, we can probably only document back but so far.
