Well, I'm sure it would be by today's standards. Do you think we made it through the 60's without killing any pledges?
I doubt it.
We made it through those days, yet anti-hazing policies didn't start really popping up until sometime in the 80's (maybe late 70's).
Anti-hazing laws didn't come about until much later (someone correct me if I'm factually mistaken).
(ETA: I'm in NO WAY promoting hazing, I'm simply trying to spark a decent discussion).
