What's stunt mean in this sentence?

Our sorority chapter still uses the paddle. Technically they don't haze -- that is, have any initiation stunts -- but they do use the paddle for disciplinary purposes.

The following are some definitions I got of the word stunt. None of them seems to fit though.
1 a dangerous and difficult action that somebody does to entertain people, especially as part of a film/movie
2 (sometimes disapproving) something that is done in order to attract people's attention
3 (informal) a stupid or dangerous act
