what is a notable sign of hazing?

A notable sign of hazing is the presence of secrecy and isolation, where senior members pressure new members to keep hazing rituals a secret and isolate them from friends or family outside the group. Other key signs include feelings of shame, humiliation, anxiety, changes in mood or personality, unexplained injuries, sleep deprivation, excessive alcohol consumption, withdrawal from usual activities, and reluctance to talk about group events. Hazing activities often involve humiliating or degrading tasks, coercion, and behaviors that endanger physical or mental safety.
