Did Your High School Have Hazings?

No NEVER. No hazing and no frats and no sororities in 70s that I recall - they were the UNCOOL thing to do (they did make a comeback in the layer 80s). To get into clubs was not like this that I ever remember (but the band kids were always the weird ones so they might have been the only group to do such things but I was never a band kid). I'm not sure if Texas kids did initiations like that but not where I went to HS. The party atmosphere, pot smoker kids and teachers were like I remember tho. Just don't know about the hazings, never saw that sort of thing.

High school in Texas from 1990-1994. A few sports teams did for Freshmen, Soccer and Football most memorably. I went through it as a Freshmen and when I was a Junior and Senior I did it to the Freshmen. From I heard around 2002 they finally made a real effort to ban the practice.

No. No way were there organized hazings right outside the school or anywhere for that matter. That would've been a lawsuit waiting to happen.

That didn't mean that upperclassmen didn't haze or otherwise try to humiliate the freshmen in secret.

Being that i was in highschool in the late 90's and not the 70's, my view may be different than the directors on hazing. We didn't have universal hazing as depicted in the movie but there was punishments towards people who were lower grades and messed up or if you were in a specific club/sport.
If you were the new person in a JV or Varsity sport, you might have got a little hazing, but i never saw anything that kids would freak out about.
We also had a special area where just seniors were suppose to park and I saw punishment towards juniors or lowers who parked there; or if an underclassman did any of the other time honored rules you shouldn't break.
But i never saw punishment to large amounts of kids just because they were incoming this or that.

When I was a freshman in band in 88, I got hazed. When I was a senior in 91, we weren't supposed to do it anymore. No one ever said not to, it just kind of wasn't done. I still told the little bitches to wipe those faces off their heads and get in line though.

We didn't have hazings when I was in high school in the early 2000s. We had bomb threats instead. At least 2 times, I remember having to go with my fellow students and the teachers, and file out of the school while the cops brought their bomb-sniffing dogs in to sweep the building. Both times it was a false alarm. It wasn't until my school forced all of us kids to wear our ID cards around our necks that they finally found the perp responsible. It was a 25-year-old who was making prank phone calls to the school! He wasn't even a student! After that, we could keep our ID cards in our pockets.

Early 70s, sure did. Called freshman fridays. Not on school grounds, Bus stops.

I went to HS in the late 80s/ early 90s and there was hazing.....but not like the stuff in this movie.
