Since you insist, good luck.

I don't recommend using message boards for homework/papers unless your research is SUPPOSED TO BE message board-based. Were you using this as a poll and going to report your "findings" along with the source? Or were you going to pass our responses off as your own words?

Do some research on hazing that requires more than reading posts on a board. There is research on various aspects of hazing.

I've researched, this, obviously. But its difficult to find first hand accounts of general ideas about hazing because a) people don't like to talk about hazing because it's such a sensitive subject and b) of the few the statements I have found on hazing that were actually made by GLO members themselves (most statements on hazing are an academic interpretation of what a GLO member said about hazing, not actual quotes). I need some direct quotes about the subject of hazing, by people who can intelligently speak on it, so I can interpret it myself. And yes, DSTCHAOS, in this particular class, students are encouraged to use forums and chat rooms to discuss their subject, because the class I'm taking is American Subcultures, and since online communities are so popular now, forums like this will aid me in my thesis.

It actually isn't, hence the research.

Then read the tons of GC threads on this topic and good luck.
