Worst hazing stories in your analyst class?

I'll go first - When I started at a top tier BB, a few of our associates and VPs brought the analyst class to a random house that was relatively secluded in Greenwich on our second week's Sunday and started hazing us (all-male analyst class) brutally, including doing the elephant walk around the residential block at 2AM, making us swim across a river in a diaper, duct taping our belongings and clothes to the ceiling and making us get them down while blindfolded, getting us to chug soap water from a bucket and we could only throw up on each other's laps, holding one guy's limbs down and having the rest of us put a broomstick pretty deep in his ass, making us sprint blindfolded across the backyard while broken glass, bricks, random holes and wooden toothpicks were scattered across and sandwiching us between two mattresses and throwing us off the third-story rooftop.
