      Hazing is kind of like bullying, but typically in a group of people to which you’re trying to belong. The older members will bully the younger ones, often with ridiculous requirements with the end goal of forming cohesion between the younger cohort with the understanding that older ones did the same. The intent, similar to what some types of military do, is to break you down and build you back up together. THIS IS IN NO WAY AN ENDORSEMENT OF THESE PRACTICES.
