If you haze, there will be a time when even your friends will have to choose between you and their integrity and well-being. It is in their best interest to report the hazing, no matter who is involved. Also, someone may decide to come forward even after college and you can still be held accountable.

According to the article the one that conducted the hazing are the one who is under the substance of an alcohol and it is true but still it comes from the writer and this article is not mine and it is your own thinking if you will believe or not.

The article have some myths all about hazing, the article said that they do hazing just to have a strong unity with their members but still for my own opinion we can have a strong unity without doing any that can hurt someone. The second myth is, a new member or the neophyte wants to be haze, but in my own thinking nobody in this world wants to be haze. They should done through this because I went through this this is the third myth on why they do hazing still from my mind do not use it as a reason to do a thing will hurt someone or can cause of his or her death. Hazing do not motivates new members to be better. http://www.umich.edu/~nohazing/facts.html
