　　Hazing, the submitting  of initiates to indignities at the hands of upperclassman, is a part of a tradition of rites of passage. As a pledging rite, the freshman, or fraternity pledges, prove their worthiness to be members of that particular body, by partaking in and going along with ridiculous, self-debasing acts. By doing so they show that they can and will confirm to the authority that governs that body.
