[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dude. What? This is not OK. I don't care what you call it, unless the freshmen boys voluntarily show up and are allowed to opt out.[/quote] I would surmise that the young guys probably[b] are[/b] proud of it and see it as a voluntary thing. This still doesn't make it okay, though. Even mild hazing rituals, if tolerated by the school, can evolve into something darker or coerced (do you want to be the spoilsport who opts out, for example?). It also says "being a lacrosse player is more important that being a 'regular' student at SSSAS" -- not something that athletics programs should be trying to foster. I'm honestly really surprised in this day and age that any school admin is okay with it. There's been a huge amount of focus on stopping hazing, even what seems like mild or funny stuff, in the collegiate ranks. Odd to have a DC area independent school lagging on this.[/quote]
