Is there ragging in your universities? A fine is justifiable or not????

I'm guessing ragging is another word for hazing...making someone perform a task that they wouldn't ordinarily do, that might be humiliating or harmful...or even illegal, as a basis for their inclusion in a group? I think people tend to get hazing confused with bonding or team building. If the whole group is participating, members alongside potential members, then it's a bonding experience.

We used to have Greek kidnappings, where a group of members from one of our organizations would "kidnap" a member of one of the other organizations and hold them for ransom. The ransom lists were always stupid things like a straw from a fast food restaurant that had the name of the restaurant printed on the wrapper...occasionally the "hostage" would add things for themselves to the list like a soda or, one girl asked for a Big Mac from McDonalds. But then someone severely lacking in a sense of humor decided that these kidnappings were hazing activities and made us stop. Nevermind that half the time it was the potential members kidnapping the actives.

So as far as a fine...I say as long as everyone participating is willing and no one got hurt a fine is ridiculous and should be fought.

From your discussion,I know this news.
