Message

As with people everywhere, many professionals believe that hazing is an effective way to help groups bond and create shared experiences. As a result, many professionals support hazing, if only passively, because they feel it has its place as long as it doesn’t go too far—meaning actual harm.

Research shows that hazing does not lead to strong bonds among teams or groups, and in fact, it can lead group members to distrust one another.
