In my college (in Delhi University ) there was an anti-ragging squad composed of some adults/teachers/security whoād roam around the campus and break up any such scenario. Plus they took the id card of students if caught ragging and suspended them etc . So seniors never really got a chance.
Once our 2nd years organized an informal intro session for 1st years and we were just made to introduce ourselves one by one but the teachers broke it up. Only formal freshers event was allowed.
In my hostel (separate/non college), the senior girls made us sing/dance etc with some adult jokes and all. I didnt like it- nothing major but it made me Slightly uncomfortable.
But my college was very strict about ragging, 0 tolerance policy.
