5. Practice! I remember hazing as being a series of demeaning activities which took place during initiation. In retrospect these activities were probably regarded as nothing more than harmless pranks. I don't think my fraternity brothers thought too much about it because that's the way things had always been done during initiation. In other words, hazing is a cycle. – Robert Kennedy’s speech as quoted in “Bobby Kennedy: A Life” by Neil Harmon. Published on the website On the Media (no publisher), May 15, 2007.
