Not blaming the victim here, but wouldn't the flight or fight mechanism kick in after a few hours or days? Psychologically speaking, what happens for either side to let this go on for so long??

No, not necessarily. The "I want to be part of the group" bit in the brain talks you into a lot, and so do your fellow pledges and even the actives. Not everyone is as susceptible to that sort of peer pressure, but more people are than you would think. And plenty of people who don't think they would stick around with any sort of abuse do. Hence cults, relationships and hazing.
