There is some question about whether hazing rituals exist at Quincy. Well I was there and I saw it. This happens during the first week called "Orientation Week". Freshmen are given these stupid looking beanies (actually they are more like beach hats but they are just as dumb) and are forced to wear them all week. Through the week there are childish games and stupid crap like that. At the end of the week there is a Kangaroo Court dance in which certain students are selected. They are given a "fair" trial by upperclassmen. The year I was there (I only attended a year because I hated the place so much), there was this maniquin called "knot-e-pine" who was assigned the duty of the defense attorney. They had this "Prostituting" attorney (a student dressed like a prostitute. They then performed humiliating pranks on the students.
It took me a while to figure out why this kind of hazing was necessary at Quincy. I think it all had to do with the fact that the school was run by a bunch of sick control freaks.
In fact, any student who was ever brough up in front of J board (judicial board, where fellow students judge students accused of misconduct) can tell you that the process they received was about as fair as the Kangaroo Court.
Of course, I believe that the hazing rituals which occur at Quincy were childish, cruel, sadistic and totally unnecessary and give the incomming students a bad image of the college as a whole. But I suppose its not that different than any other kind of controlled environment. You turn the students against eachother and allow them a chance to vent their rage on fellow students so they do not turn on the administration. 69.210.253.255 22:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I want to add something. I was a student at the very same time that the original poster was tthere. And I did see the exact same thing. The poster had the decency to delete this but I will tell you as a victim that I was hazed. And Pleae let me add, I do have a year book to prove my statement. Anyone who doubts what I say can get a copy of the 1981 yearbook and have a look for themself. And finally..... this is not "Libelous" because "libel" is telling lies. I am not lying.
I also would add that, though this incident happened in 1980 I never received an appology from the college. 69.219.147.53
Well it did happen whether you wish to believe it or not. Maybe the thing to do is to post a link to other sources. (This unsigned comment posted 16:43, 7 February 2006 by 69.219.155.138)
Seeing that the original post was inflamatory I deleted it out of respect for the integrity of Wikipedia's standards of fairness and honesty. I would state that the incident described previously did occur but it occured in 1980. I did check and found that Quincy University does currently have a "no-hazing" policy. None-the-less I did link the sports related hazing story because I fealt it was relavent and came from a reliable source.
Source should be added regarding him being a graduate of Quincy University. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydney Rigdon ( talk • contribs) 20:31, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

I read a great deal about the sordid history of hazing at Quincy University. I heard from several sources about the reason for such activities as the "Kangaroo Court" and other activities going on there. It reminds me a lot of the Standford Experiment which had student volunteers serve as guards and others as inmates. During this experiment, the guards were given complete control over the inmates and abused and humiliated those in their charge. This has much in common with the QU's Kangaroo Court. See this video on YouTube for yourself...

Shown below is a link to a site displaying a page from the Gyrfalcon (the propaganda newspaper for the students) showing a student being ABUSED by upperclassmen. This abuse is REAL!
http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/Quincy_University_Gyrfalcon_Yearbook/1973/Page_50.html
Its all about the power of bullying. The school sanctions an abuse ritual so some of the "students" are allowed to go on a sadistic rampage. Don't tell me its all in good fun. This is hazing! It is abuse. It is sick and sadistic. I would bet that the people doing the abuse would never stand up in a fair fight. And what did the others in the crowd (including faculty and administrators) do? They cheered it all on!
Sick bastards all of them! I hope they all go to hell!
So stop lying and trying to cover it up!

@ Mb7720: if you believe this article has sufficient sources, you'll really need to explain how. Breaking it down by section:
In addition to this, there's quite a bit of advertisement-type language throughout, though I didn't feel the need to add a cleanup template for that. Things like Quincy being an "attractive, affordable" town need to be taken out. -- Fyrael ( talk) 21:56, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
