It all starts with one person who thinks it's a good idea, and then everyone else is too scared to admit they don't agree with it and before you know it you have farmers with pitchforks going to burn the town witch at the stake (or haze someone). It's all centered around peer pressure.
We never had anything that extreme in high school, but college fraternities certainly get that bad. One time we were in the cafeteria and about 5 guys were carrying another guy up above their heads yelling QUACK QUACK QUACK over and over and they were going to throw the guy in our campus' duck pond (hence the "quack"). They looked like douches yelling "quack" but either way they got to the pond and threw the guy in and it was frozen solid because it was during the winter. He landed on the ice with a thud and they picked him up and tried to throw him in again and he just slid.
