Speaking as one who has gone through the process, there is a reason for hazing, believe it or not.
Check out how tight the groups are that go through a hazing process, be it physical or mental, and compare it to a group that experiences no hazing whatsoever. The hazing brings the group closer together and bonds them through a difficult and shared process and common pain.
Don't worry too much about it. Most of the time it's a big mindfuck. Just don't do anything too stupid, like drinking waaaaay past your limit, and you should be fine.
Ah, good times. Memories of Pepsi, Preparation H analgesics, and a call to the poison control line.
