Excerpt:
WILLIAMS Why does hazing exist in high school sports? Does it satisfy some sort of innate need for a rite of passage?
NUWER It gives students a combination of things they’re looking for at that age: the need for a lark, the immersion in secrecy with their peers, a passage from liminal space where they went from not being a member of a group to becoming a member of a group, and then the fact there is a kind of . . . rite of passage associated with hazing and initiations in school that has kind of a romance to it.
