I know that use of alcohol, around pledges, was part of the hazing charges ( among others ) against my chapter.

My brother was a MIT SAE in the late 80s/early 90s and said that his chapter's problems were always alcohol-related (serving minors) issues and never hazing. The problem was that the chapter was already in trouble for committing similar infractions in the past. Despite knowing the consequences, they continued to do so until they were shut down.
A freshman boy from a different MIT fraternity had died only a couple of years before that from alcohol poisoning and the university was finally taking more of an in loco parentis role in regards to student life.
