When I was a lowly pledge in my fraternity back in the day they blindfolded us and led us by the hand into the gym barefoot as our feet were walking on crunchy objects they then yelled it was broken glass and if we dont keep walking we cant pledge in. Turned out to be corn flakes. Amazing what the mind can make you believe in moments like that. Felt like broken glass to me boy-o!

What I vaguely remember about my pledge night in college involved being blindfolded in the woods for a very long time.

It's really old fashioned now, and probably not allowed in larger companies. But every industry has it's things.
The print shop did a little but more of a "We've decided you're Ok so we'll include you in pranks" sort of hazing. The really traditional one was to tell you that the printing ink heated up as you mixed the color and you could tell it was ready by holding your hand over the ink to feel how warm it was. Of course then the guy would slap your hand into the ink.  Being picked up and put in one of the waste paper bins. Not bad, they were just big cloth boxes on wheels. They'd put the ink which was really sticky on something you handled but where you couldn't see it. The backs of the handles on the press were prime places. You'd get the ink on your hand, then every itch or anything you had got inked. That usually lasted till someone just couldn't keep a straight face. It was banned after someone did it to all the drawer pulls on the bosses desk. In Hydraulics you weren't a "real" mechanic until you'd been soaked by oil spraying out of something. (Trapped air which is common in some broken stuff can make a really impressive spray of oil if it's not released properly) They tried maybe three times, but didn't catch me. Then there was a baler with trapped air and the boss removed the valve. I happened to be standing in the one spot shielded from spray by one of the bolts holding it down. (Picture a basically round spray of oil but with one pizza slice shaped bit where nothing went. ) Finally I had to go to the airport to pick up a hose. Pretty cool right? I got to drive out to the truck which was between two taxiways. And that truck was parked over a small pond of leaked oil. The hose was underneath the truck. So I had a bit of a swim. Totally soaked. After a bit of cleanup and finishing the last bit of the day we all went out for beer. Steve B

Pledge night they blindfolded us ripped our shirts off, wrote sigma p.. ep..... on our chests in Greeks letters using a liquid absorbine Jr and set it on fire. 40 pledges with burnt chest hair is not a pretty sight or smell.

When I saw the topic, I honestly thought you meant new guys to the board. I was waiting to see how you were going to haze the latest members of Net54.

My senior year on the college baseball team we had this freshman join us. Mouthy little son of a gun. Good player but nearly as good as he seemed to think he was. Always bragging, picking fights for no reason. Just a real douche. So we head down for our spring Florida trip. This jackass is just running his mouth the entire flight down. We couldn't take it anymore.
One of the seniors bought some sort of bag at a grocery store that was meant to keep your food warm inside. About the size of a shopping bag but had some sort of insulation/aluminum foil/some such thing on the inside. There were five of us who were seniors, and before the first practice, each one of us took turns...uh....defecating into the bag. We placed the bag on the radiator inside the room, opened the curtains, and turned the heat up full blast. That thing baked in there for about 14 hours until we got back to our rooms. we told his roommate to stay back with us, watched as he entered the room and closed the door. We sent our huge catcher to the door to hold it so he couldn't come out. I've never heard such screams in my life. The guy was crying, puking, pleading to be let out. Finally we let him out. He just stumbled down the hallway. Retching the entire time. We quickly destroyed the "evidence" and filed back to our rooms. He didn't tel the coach though, and after that he was much more subdued and a much better teammate. Ah. Those crazy college days. Tom C

Every time I would deploy overseas, my partner and I would come up with ingenious ways to send everyone home with a bang. Example, 1 week before our group was scheduled to fly home, we went to our dining facility and I asked a friend to bake me a cake as a go away gift for our mechanics. So whole he was working the cake, I ninja'ed my way to our Aid Station and asked a battle buddy for a bottle of laxative and a 12 gauge needle. So after about 2 hours, we checked on the cake and once it was done, we injected about a half bottle of laxative and gave the cake to our mechanics...to find out that the following day the maintenance section was shut down because there was no one who could spend a solid 30 min on a vehicle without rushing to he bathroom was priceless.
Eventually we ended up confessing and got beat up about it, it was our way of sending our brothers and sisters in arms home with a bang!

Maybe the best hazing ever was that one time that someone convinced someone else to post on a public forum a thread questioning the hall of fame credentials of one of the greatest and most beloved baseball players of all time.

When I was in the Air Force we did things all the time to new guys. I remember one time we were rewiring a harness inside of a plane and I ran out of the tubing that the wires went into. I "called" the tool crib and found out that they were out, so I told my newbie that the tool crib was out and that he would have to get into his car and drive to the base hospital, because they had some there. I wrote down what we needed and off he went. About 30 minutes later I got a call from the nurses at the OB/Gyn. They were laughing hysterically, but they told me that they weren't going to be able to fill my order for 60 feet of fallopian tubing.
