How have you been hazed in the past?

Upon completion of my advanced training in the army, I was forced to get my "blood wings" before the drill instructor would sign my release papers. This consisted of him placing me up against a door, taking the backings of my wings(think of hat pins) and shoving his open palm into my chest as fast and hard as he could. He hit me so hard he shoved the service robins below my wings through those backings, so I got two sets of bloody holes.
While attached to a special operations unit, all of the soldiers go through what is called green platoon before they join the rest of the unit. It is essentially basic training on steroids. After graduation, when the soldier joined the rest of the unit the established troops would often take the new graduates and hog tie them. After laying them down on the floor the rest of your platoon would come through and knee strike the legs, tie them to a chair and run them into the showers. Often times when they were done with that, they would place a pocket knife on the floor next to you and you had to cut yourself free.
One of the platoon sergeants would occasionally bet one of the new guys $100.00 that if they let him put them in a choke hold for 10 seconds he would led them go, and they would then have 10 seconds once he released them to get over to the 100 dollar bill sitting on a table. If they made it they got to keep the 100 dollars. Never saw anyone make it. I was surprised to see how many people actually try it.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. It certainly helps and having that network is a good way to get your foot in the door, but people that have no connection to it whatsoever usually share a similar opinion. The head of ag career services at Iowa state (who is awesome at his job) always thoughtly highly of them because they were well prepared.
I cleaned bathrooms on Friday nights for a year. Thats really about it. Soon that won't even be happening because the university has cracked down so hard on hazing and drinking.
People on this forum hate fraternities because of some bad experiences with frat star bros. What they don't realize is not all fraternities are like that, and the ones that aren't hate those douchbags too.
Step 4 - lifelong regrets as you unintentionally mis-spelled your brand "no regerts".
In college a fellow freshman teammate liked to talk a lot of **** to the upper classmen. One day one of the seniors smeared a bunch of Icy Hot into his jock strap. Only time Ive ever seen someone strip while running at full speed. (Towards the showers).
As a high school freshman I got paddled by a senior on homecoming. Very much Dazed and Confused style. Unfortunately though, I didn't get invited to a party afterward.

Buddy was recon and he was "pinned". Still has the scars after 30-some years. In the AF we had our chevrons "tacked" on whenever we gained rank. Only a few guys took delight in REALLY hammering it home but I never thought it was anything more than camaraderie.
Its true, but we are bros, bro... Tom & I still crack up about it to this day... like 25+ yrs ago...& not off just around his ankles! He thought I was going to spank him but I didnt. I'm not a ****
A little bit exaggerated, but a little bit of truth in this. I never minded the AGR or FarmHouse guys. I never really even considered them a frat, since they weren't all d-bags.
How about these:
- Sitting on a keg of ice for 2 hours
- Chewing cigarette tobacco
- Pushing a peanut across the gym floor nude while handlers cow prodded your butt
- Duck-walking through four stories of a residence house
I'll stop with these, but I could list more. Didn't enjoy it at the time, but fun to talk about now. The PC cops have taken over this kind of stuff -- good for safety, bad for team-building.
Even for someone like me who appreciates "team building" seems you guys were getting a little close to the edge for a non-military group. But still I understand how it brings back basically fond memories if you have the right mind-set.
My Dad told me about being forced to swallow oysters with a string attached then having the string pulled back up and out... Give me finger assault any time (so long as the perp has REALLY small hands and buys me dinner first).
Most all frat hazing seems to involve getting the younger men (pledges) nekid.
And while I freely admit to liking seeing young men nekid most of the frat actives will make no such admission.
