Once, in basic training, new recruits were made to do a "funny" march. They had to march while making animal noises. It was a strange but hilarious sight as soldiers were roaring like lions and quacking like ducks all in unison.
Yes, unfortunately, military school hazing stories are not that uncommon. The hierarchical structure in military schools sometimes leads to situations where seniors feel they can exert power over juniors in inappropriate ways. This can range from minor annoyances like making them do extra chores to more serious forms of hazing like physical and mental abuse.
Well, there have been cases where in military schools, seniors would take away the bedding of juniors at night as a form of hazing. This left the juniors cold and uncomfortable. In some other instances, new cadets were made to run long distances in full gear under the hot sun without proper hydration breaks just because they were new. And there are stories of being forced to eat unpalatable food combinations as a 'prank' by the older students.
At a military base, the hazing for new recruits was to tell the funniest military - related joke they knew. One recruit told a joke about a general who got lost on his own base and ended up asking a private for directions. The way he told it, with all the military jargon mixed in, had everyone in stitches.
Sure. There was this one time in a college club. New members had to do a funny skit. One new guy was so nervous that he mixed up all his lines and ended up making everyone laugh uncontrollably. Instead of being embarrassed, he joined in the laughter and it became a great ice - breaker for the whole group.
Well, in a certain fraternity, the hazing involved the pledges having to imitate different animals. One pledge was supposed to be a chicken and he had to cluck and flap his 'wings' (his arms) all around the frat house. Another one had to be a sloth and move super slowly everywhere. It was really funny to see them trying so hard to be these animals.
There was a frat where the pledges had to recite a really long and complicated poem backwards while standing on one leg. One pledge got so confused that he started making up his own words and it was just pure comedy. Everyone was in stitches watching him struggle.
Well, there was this frat that made their pledges do a lip - sync battle as part of hazing. One pledge did an over - the - top performance of a Britney Spears song. He had the moves, the costume, and even the hair flip. It was hilarious and made the whole frat cheer and laugh. The best part was that he was so into it that he didn't care how goofy he looked.
Education is key. By educating people, especially in institutions like schools, colleges, and clubs, about the harm of hazing. For example, having mandatory anti - hazing seminars.
I heard about a fraternity hazing where the new guys had to wear the silliest costumes and do a dance in the middle of the campus. They were all dressed as different animals and were hopping around. It was quite a sight and everyone who saw it couldn't stop laughing.
