Wait, are you saying that hazing was not done in the 70s?

It was done well into the 90s throughout Texas & LA high schools.


Never saw it anywhere but on sports practice facilities. Never saw it going on with civilian students on campus, but I went to public schools. Might have caught a slash from a cake cutter, or a Case knife back then. We all carried one, or the other.

Where I'm from the freshmen would get their heads shaved by the seniors. This was still going on until at least the late 90s as far as I know.

I went to public school in Lafayette & our girls service club, among other females clubs, Les Amis would do nearly the exact same stuff from Dazed to the freshman. On campus.

Athletics teams always had their own hazing/shaved heads/paddling/locker stuffing/embarrassing costumes/etc.

It was a school-wide institution at the all boys Catholic high school I went to in the 90's. But we didn't have a lot of knife fights.

Like in the movie, most people just had fun with it, but there were one or two who really got off on it and wanted to pay back the incoming freshmen for whatever happened to them, I guess. That resulted in it getting watered down a ton between my freshman year and senior year as parents became more concerned about it.
