Shellback ceremonies used to be pretty intense. They are a shadow of what they used to be though.Fraternities have those paddling ceremonies for new members. Provocative, no? (It's in Animal House, for example.) In the Navy and elsewhere, they had drag shows and other goofiness for sailors crossing the equator for the first time. This 1936 photo shows some fun times in such an event.

I might put that into my idea pile for a future work.
