    Never understood this as well, the point is that recruits don’t know exactly what is going to happen as it either secret or changed every year. What I have heard is that in some cases the hazing escalates every year.

    I’ve always gone to these things as a guest, and honestly still an insane thing to witness. In my country they often punish with a “7 jump” or “zevensprong” where you have to drink 7 beers right after each other while they chant a song. Which with the right technique to not make them foam in your stomach while drinking, can be done without puking. But honestly like at least 7/10 people puke their brains out while doing it AND you have to finish all 7 even if you’re immediately puking them out one by one.
