Amnesia

Dizziness

Ringing in the ears

Nausea and vomiting

#2 Hazing

Hazing does not build camaraderie andteamworkit destroys it!

Respect = treating others fairly regardless ofrace, religion, wealth, or age

You do not wake up one morning a bad person.

It happens by a thousand tiny surrenders ofself-respect to self-interest.
