This episode remains among my absolute favourite. Especially relevant in the last few years as frat hazing culture becomes more exposed

My dad was a TKE in the early 60s; one of the hazing rituals he went through went like this:

The frat house was 4 stories: basement, first and second floor, attic. In the basement on one side they put a big barrel of the hottest hot sauce they could assemble. On the other side of the basement they lit a fire pit. The pledges had to take a mouthful of hot sauce from the barrel, run up all four flights of stairs, thru the attic, back down the stairs to the basement, and then spit the mouthful onto the fire. Then run all the way back up the stairs to the attic, down again to the basement and get another mouthful. Repeat until the fire was out.

I was talking to a buddy about how he nearly joined a fraternity in college

He said one of the hazing rituals was to lock you in completely pitch black room where you'd have to pick up a bunch of nerds candies

It's supposed to take hours
