oppressed

I'm not stating names here and hence can't be prosecuted for defamation whatsoever. I have to say that students from a particular faculty in the university are unjustly treated during their orientation programme. They are made to sing the faculty anthem several times daily with their white tee tucked into their black shorts, not forgetting to pull the shorts high up their waists. They slogged through the day to make floats for the display next week and were not allowed to leave school till late at night. Before they are allowed to leave, they are again made to sing the anthem before their seniors---including those that have already graduated--- loud and clear.

I've been told that it is a tradition that has been going on for many years but isn't it too much? People in university should be treated like adults and not be treated otherwise. Those students seemed to be oppressed and controlled. They can't do anything that offend anyone because it'll do no good to their future career.I guess the seniors continue the "tradition" because they were once being treated the same way as well. I must say they are really sadistic, juvenile and ridiculous and I doubt their actions actually forge camaraderie among the students.Why exactly is no one doing anything to stop this?
Pity those people.
