I was an Army officer and never got hazed; your comment shows how incredibly wrong people are. Being mistreated does not result in a show of character or brotherhood. What utter nonsense.

I was an enlisted man, hazing goes on even if the officer are not aware of it (but will gurantee you that the Sgt are aware of it). By the way, did you go to West Point. I understand that the first year cadets are hazed the entire year.
Hazing per se does not mean physically mistreated.
Hazing is just another word for initiation or test and even a job interview could be a form of “hazing”.
Your lack of understanding of human nature is amazing. How individuals respond to situation is very much an indication of their character. Putting stress on an individual will often expose their true character.
As a combat infantryman, a replacement for a soldier that got killed, I was not accepted into the “brotherhood” until after my first firefight. Up to that point I was the “newbie” and for the most part ignored. Once I showed I could handle myself in combat I was accepted as one of them.
Now not every group can go into combat together so other methods have been devised over the course of history to “test” individuals that want to join the group.
And sometimes the group decides someone is not worth “testing” and that individual is never invited to join.
