How have you been hazed in the past?

[SpokaneCY]

Related to recent hazing allegations of "finger assault"...

ISU dorm initiation: upper class made freshmen take a string and tie one end to a pencil and the other end to our danglers. We were then escorted to our sister floor and required to get 10 names and phone numbers written by the girls. It was fun and the secret was to NOT tie a tight knot.

AirForce: First and last flights were recognized by senior crewmen holding us down and emptying the remaining contents of water jugs, gatorade coolers, etc... on us on the runway. I flew out of Alaska mostly and while my last flight was in the summer my first flight was VERY wintery. It was fun and built crew camaraderie.

While i have heard some REALLY foul stories from my navy buddies, how else have ya'll been hazed through the years and did you find it a bonding experience?

I don't think I've ever been hazed in anything.

 

[Bu4ISU]

I'm in a fraternity and I've never been hazed


edit: and to add I wish I was

Me either.

My freshman roommate and I were pennied into our dorm room for an entire day by some upperclassmen when we were freshman. I'm not sure when they did it, but when we woke up in the morning we found out. We called some people and no one would let us out, and we didn't know many people other than those on our floor.

They let us out shortly before dinner, somewhere around 4:30pm. I missed some classes but we had an Atari 2600, some snacks and some beer. All in all, not a bad day.

I pledged the #$% house, we didnt haze but we faked it pretty good. Line ups where we got yelled at/cigars smoke blown in face. It was pretty intense but no physical stuff.

We did have unity functions which I dug, pledges vs actives in wrestling with pink bellys, knuckles to the chest & noogies. Nobody got hurt.

Pledges got blindfolded escorted downtstairs and we pretended to spank them with pledge paddles. I told my new son to drop draugh and he did. We would smack a leather ottoman and cheer. They were freaked out a bit.

The thing about hazing is you dont have to take it over the line and it builds respect. If you are a **** and cant handle the heat GTFO. The more you work for it the better.

The real hazing is the Omega Psi Phi... the brothers who sport the unsidedown horseshoe on their biceps. Those dudes brand each other. You can see dudes in the NBA with brands and its an honor....

Now you get a participation ribbon, ....ballzy

I too think it's a fairly important part of team-building provided no actual orifices are penetrated in an unwelcome manner! Take it like a man (provided finger assault is not on the menu).

I was in a fraternity, and we had 2 weeks where we were 'hazed' but it was more or less pretty innocent.

1.) The house hallways were divided into 4 foot sections with duct tape and each section had its own 'activity'. As a pledge you had to do each activity in each section from when you entered the house until you got to your room. Or..if you left your room to go anywhere. The sections were broken up into things like yelling obsenities about an active's mother, doing 10 pushups, doing 10 situps, doing 10 jumping jacks, doing cartwheels. The worst was all pledges had to walk to the shower naked with their towel on their shoulders (not too far to the showers from our rooms)...BUT...the 10 jumping jacks was right in front of the bathroom door.

2.) Had to carry $20 in nickels in our pockets all week when walking to classes and be ready to count them whenever asked by an active no matter where, no matter when.

3.) Had to sleep in a communal living room with the rest of the pledges (each had sleeping bags) with the house stereo blasting the song "The venga bus is coming...".

4.) Had Pledge Aerobics in the morning at 6am where our sister house was invited to watch (we all had to do them in our underwear).

5.) Had nightly 'Pledge Olympics' events where we were paired up with another pledge and we had to do silly things. One was a mop bucket relay.

But..none of this was really too bad. It's pretty fun for the most part as it really brings you closer together.

I have always wanted a brand but can't find anyone to do it (my tattoo artist client has no experience with it). So if anyone has a good suggestion for somebody pass it on.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

I guess I'm alone thinking that hazing is really really stupid. It's like forced peer pressure. Practical jokes among friends are fine, but I don't need some ridiculous act to make me loyal to someone that deserves my loyalty.

 

[bringmagicback]

cigars smoke blown in face. It was pretty intense
I told my new son to drop draugh and he did

Cigar smoke in the face? How did you survive?

2nd part, I mean, lets be honest, you told your son to take his pants off? Stuffs a little strange.

Step one, get branding iron. Step 2, heat branding iron. Step 3 go to hospital so it doesn't get infected.

Hazing is dumb.

Hazing is especially dumb if you're the fraternity each year who hazes their pledges by making them run around sorority circle naked while driving around by them honking their horns and drawing attention. Whenever either the City of Ames or ISU police stumble upon that there are going to be some lives ruined when the pledges get to register as sex offenders.

Kind of like getting a tattoo is Step 1) get a needle, Step 2) fill with ink, Step 3) poke a design.

I would think branding a human is the same as branding an animal....I didn't need no fancy branding school for that!!! lol, im partially joking.

 

[Rabbuk]

Hazing seems kind of homoerotic.

 

[HGoat]

Any group I've ever known that partakes in hazing rituals has generally been made up of predominantly d-bags.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Coincidence that frats participate the most?

 

[bringmagicback]

Why does hazing always revolve around being naked, your junk, or some sort of mason jar and then dumping it on people? I can just picture these guys sitting in their rooms plotting up some hazing ritual that will fulfill some weird fantasy they have.
