Enduring Hazing 1 


Rafael: Go away and stop following us. Our club is for boys only. 


Hannah: But I want to join. 


Rafael: You do, huh? Did you know that to join our club, you have to go through an initiation 2


Hannah: Okay, I’ll do that. What do I have to do? 


Rafael: You have to endure weeks of hazing. We’ll be putting you through your paces to make sure you’re club material. 


Hannah: I’m willing to do that. I can do anything you boys can do. Watch me! 


Rafael: I’m not so sure. If you want to be one of the guys, you’ll have to do everything we tell you to do, even if you don’t want to. 


Hannah: Everything? 


Rafael: Yeah, everything. If we tell you to eat dirt, you have to eat dirt. If we tell you to stand outside in the rain, you have to do that, too. Get the picture? 


Hannah: Yeah, I’ve got the picture. 


Rafael: If we tell you to pull a prank 3, you have to do it. If we tell you to streak 4, you have to do that, too. 


Hannah: You can’t be serious. That really crosses the line. 


Rafael: We decide what crosses the line and what doesn’t. See? I knew you’d be too chicken to join our club. 


Hannah: You’re right. I don’t want to join any club where the members are stupid enough to do all of those things. I’m starting my own club – one where you don’t have to humiliate 5 yourself to get in. 


Rafael: Suit yourself. I knew you weren’t club material. 


Hannah: Thank goodness for that!
