	Hazing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hazing is often ritualistic test, which may constitute harassment, abuse or humiliation with requirements to perform meaningless tasks; sometimes as a way of initiation into a social group.
		Blatantly brutal hazing can in fact produce negative results, making the units more prone to break, desert or mutiny than those without hazing traditions, as observed in Russian army in Chechnya, where units with strongest traditions of dedovschina were first to break and desert under enemy fire.
		Finkel cites hazing incidents including "beating or kicking to the point of traumatic injury or death, burning or branding, excessive calisthenics, being forced to eat unpleasant substances, and psychological or sexual abuse of both males and females".

		Hazing is the worst kind of bullying because hazing is 'sanctioned' by many authorities and the victims are sworn to silence.
		So, not only is hazing sanctioned, it's a systematic way to insure that the practice of bullying, euphemized as a "tradition", will be passed from generation to generation.
		Further, it makes sense that hazing between boys accustomed to the adrenaline rush that comes when physical violence makes them heroes is a set up for the escalation of violence.

		Right now the 43 states that have hazing laws are about evenly divided as to whether the apparent willing participation of a hazing victim should be taken into account when assessing civil or criminal accountability.
		My editorial stance on hazing has been to punish the guilty chapters to the full extent of the law or the full extent of the school's legal recourses, but not to also punish the innocent by throwing all Greek groups off campus for the actions of some.

		As I thought about the issue of hazing and the incident in Illinois recently, I thought if those young women could’ve been shown what their life would be like before they committed the acts, they most likely would’ve chosen differently.
		I also pray that they truly would have learned a painful lesson of choice and effect, but that we can embrace them with mercy and vigilant care, realizing that we too are always in constant need of that same kindness.
