I am aboslutely disgusted by this article. Why would you ever intentionally harm someone? In high school, the seniors on the varsity teams would haze the freshmen on the varsity teams for a week, but it was like all the freshman had to wear grass skirts or hawaiian things, or shirts that the seniors made that said "seniors rock" or "freshman suck" and the football/lax teams shaved the heads of the freshman varsity players, but nothing harmful. We hazed in the marching band during the first week of the year, but it was nothing horrible, making the freshmen/new members do drills longer or harder than the upperclassmen, but if they were uncomfortable or felt ill we let them out without a thought. What we did was in good humor and out of tradition and we NEVER forced anyone to do something that would hurt them or made them feel uncomfortable. What happened at this high school is just absolutely barbaric.
