But I don't think we should expand the definition of "hazing" to include anything stupid or harmful a group might do.
"Hazing" as a term should cover physically harmful (or potentially physically harmful) or intentionally humiliating things that people are forced to do to pursue full membership in a group.
We should have other names and other legal definitions for all the other harmful things that groups might do to people under different circumstances.
Assault? Harassment? Negligence?
I just object to the over-application of the word "hazing." Everything bad doesn't have to be called hazing.
The girl in the video may have been victimized but I wouldn't call it hazing. (Was she in danger of being kicked out of youth group if she didn't do it?)
Personally, I think most of the sort of false-risk, trust-building stuff is a load of junk anyway.
