Hazing has a long history dating back to 387 BCE123. It was first observed by Plato during the founding of his Academy, where it was called "pennalism" and involved mild oppression and torment of first-year students2. Despite its history, institutions still struggle to prevent hazing.
hazing, form of initiation that occurs when new members enter certain social groups, most often characterized by degrading, humiliating, or dangerous tasks and behaviours. Hazing is typically associated with student organizations such as university fraternities and sororities, but similar initiation rituals take place within the military, sports teams, clubs, street gangs, workplace environments, and a variety of other social settings. Hazing is customarily enforced by elder or more seasoned members as a required rite of passage for newcomers.
Examples of rites of passage: a ritual, event, or experience that marks or constitutes a major milestone or change in a person's life
