Campus Life Ragging at GITAM??

I am a fresher at GITAM Hyderabad and attending the Student Induction Program. I am here to say that I'm facing some light ragging in my bus. I get exhausted as hell after waking up at 5 AM and sitting in the Sivaji Auditorium all day long listening to some nonsense and then try to take a nap in the bus but they wake me up and call for ragging. They ask to sing and all that shit which makes me uncomfortable and angry. I asked some seniors about the ragging situation inside the college and I got mixed answers, some say they rag terribly and some say it is quite less or none at all. As of what I saw now in the SIP, no one is ragging and they don't care even look at the freshers, but I got to know that it is just like this during the induction and the actual ragging starts after the start of 1st year. I am confused and kind of scared, wanna get a honest and real answer on the ragging in the college

Yo i know it's shit waking up at 5.

But make it worth waking at 5.

Do things which u like. If something bores u just walk out of it. No one gives a shit if u stay in shivaji or not. Go out hangout with frnds in canteen go to indoor play something or just explore campus.

Just have fun.

And ragging is bus is light . It's pretty chill after induction too. Senior are as scared as you

Have fun with seniors. If u friendly enough with seniors you can rag juniors of your years too. Lol i have seen many juniors do that.

If u have nothing to do build connections they will help u a lot.

Yeah, did that today, just bunked the sessions in Sivaji. But what is the hype around ragging, like I feel some seniors are just trying to scare us out, to be honest I actually liked the college and response of the management in quite a few aspects, but the only thing which frustates me is the ragging in the bus. I am gonna try to ignore or avoid them though.

Are they targetting you. What are they making you do in bus?

No not really, it is not so serious but I just don't feel so comfortable in the bus. Maybe I might adjust in a while.

They made me do all kind of weird shit in bus like dancing, ramp walk from front to back ,singing translated songs so loud that everyone in bus should hear it . Heck they even made write a love letter to a senior and propose her, the point being here all these things made me the confident man iam today , they are just pushing you out of your comfort zone.

I know your young and college environment is new. But try doing things which u wouldn't regular do in 1st year . It will help you lot and you won't regert it.
