Sick, smelly and always in tears, we then had to perform skits as the sorority screamed at us for being so pathetic. <br>Although hazing is commonly associated with high school and college students, the study by Alfred University found that 25 percent of those who admitted to being hazed said that they had first been hazed before the age of 13. At the high school level, the study found that 48 percent of students who belonged to groups had been subjected to hazing activities, and that 30 percent reported that they had participated in initiation rituals that could be considered illegal. Further, the report found that substance abuse, especially alcohol, was involved in 23 percent of the high school hazing activities and 51 percent of the college hazing activities.<br>Public outrage has resulted in the formation of several anti-hazing organizations and in anti-hazing legislation (42 states now have anti-hazing laws). In fact, the Supreme Court ruled in May 1999 (Davis vs Monroe County Board of Education) that if a school district fails to prevent harassment among students and that district is receiving federal funding, the district could be liable for monetary damages.<br><br>Beyond the Classroom<br><br>Hazing has roots that can be traced back to schools in ancient Greece. Even as late as the 1900s, it was a commonly held belief among college presidents that hazing was a way for new students to learn respect for their school and to honor their elders. Today's hazing rituals are seen not just in colleges and high schools, but also in professional sports, the military and many occupations. It could even be argued that reality television shows such as Survivor, Boot Camp and Fear Factor include hazing activities, as contestants are required to participate in unpleasant activities to continue playing the game and be eligible to receive cash prizes.<br>In High School Hazing: When Rites Become Wrongs, author Hank Nuwer says one reason hazing continues to survive is that those who were once victims of such degrading activities convince themselves that hazing others will somehow restore their lost dignity. To believe otherwise would result in the sobering realization that what they h
