I went to one of the most prestigous public high schools in the country, Ann Arbor Pioneer, and frankly in the four years there i was hazed every one of those years. Yes as a senior i was hazed only for the fact that we hazed each other on equal grounds. My beatings and embarassments ranged from the nationally recognized band program to the nationally ranked swim team, and the theatre group as well. To be blunt, a staple gun to the chest hurts like hell.
There are no positives in hazing, all it does is start a cycle which is almost impossible to get out of and the longer you're stuck there the worse the hazing gets. Im my last episode where hazing occured, i'll admit i was the one doing it, i did not harm the boys in any physical way. I literally destroyed them mentally. It only lasted two hours but in that two hours of silence and cold i watched them age years. I repented for what i did to them and now vowed to never do it again.
If you think hazing is positive, then you've most likely never experianced the evil that it can truly become. I have seen worse than what i have done. I personally have washed the blood from my friends shirt as he went through is LPhiE pledging. Hazing is wrong, do not do it, PERIOD.
