 But, relationships are not walks in the park. There will be frowns, uncomfortable moments, uncertainty, inconveniences, apathy, and overall things you don't want to do if the decision was solely up to you. Thus is the nature of human interactions and relationships.The same goes for our sisterhoods and brotherhoods. |

The hazing definition is so broad, and I don't think every single solitary thing on these "hazing" lists is life threatening or detrimental. I don't like/want to see (non-dangerous) traditions destroyed because of how we define hazing.
For high school track, every year at the end of the season (on a hot day) we would act like we were taking class pictures. We would have the seniors take theirs first, all the way to the freshmen. When the freshmen would go, the upperclassman would go to the top of the bleachers, and pour water on them as they were taking the picture. Afterwards, a water fight would ensue, with water guns and the whole nine with the entire team. It was something that happened to us, and we would pass it down. I know this would be considered hazing, but it was just a fun tradition that we had.
