Hazing is a term used to describe various ritual and other activities involving harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group.

Hazing is seen in many different types of groups, including in gangs, clubs, sports teams, military units, and workplaces. In the United States and Canada, hazing is often associated with Greek-letter organizations (fraternities and sororities). Hazing is often prohibited by law and may be either physical (possibly violent) or mental (possibly degrading) practices. It may also include nudity or sexually oriented activities.

A. I'd say it could be anything from having low self-esteem, wanting to fit in/be popular, because their parents did it, peer pressure, having no mind of their own, etc. Though a lot of people endure it because the transition from boy to man or girl to woman is not marked in modern society so some feel a longing to make the transition somehow through hazing and joining a fraternity or sorority. Why or how hazing originated is still relatively unknown because the groups that usually practice it are secretive about it.
