least one hazing behavior. [Where Does Hazing Take Place?]. Retrieved March 27, 2017, from

they will still endure it to become a part of something. Whether it is a man in a fraternity to

officially become a brother, or a freshman on the baseball team, they want to belong. Even

though they want to belong, they know the danger that sometimes hazing can be taken too far,

leading to death.
