Trauma bonding + a bit of Stockholm syndrome and you have made perfect little upper middle class secret keepers under authority that will be perfect for perpetuating systems of financial fraud, corruption, child trafficking, and apparently CSA rings.
This is genuinely so strange to me. I wouldn’t generally mind that one has to somehow prove themselves to be able to join but just to humiliate other because it’s something you had to endure few years earlier makes no sense to me and I don’t want anything to do with a club that does that. I’m far more likely to find likeminded people within the group who chose not to join for the same reason.
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.
Imagine someone telling you this and you’re like “yeah I’ll do that to join.”
I have genuinely never understood it.
People heard the horror stories, and not only were they like “yeah I’ll do that,” they wanted to eventually do it to others.

Have you considered that maybe it’s their fetish
