if actives and new members were out there exercising together, i would probably not consider that hazing. i think one thing to keep in mind is what you quoted says "the following MAY be considered hazing." 'May' being the imperative word.
i agree there are groups out there getting away with a lot. problem is, those who can take action (greek advisor for example) often do not know that it is going on. if someone does not speak up, then how can it be stopped?
the phrase" your either part of the problem of part of the solution" definitely applies here. if those who think hazing is bad and goes against fraternity values (yours or someone else's), knows it goes on and doesn't say anything to stand up for those values, then that person is part of the problem. complaining that "no one does anything about it" gets one knowwhere and does not allow "no one" to be part of the solution. if that person knows about it and takes a stand, that person is now part of the solution.
i think that is why we talk about it so much. we want others to be part of the solution.
