This is a difficult situation. Technically, it is hazing, because the house had alcohol available to the pledges. That constitutes as hazing in and of itself. Don't know if that is how I would define it, but that is the way it is defined. I think it is because the pledges could feel obligated to drink if alcohol is provided, whether they are told to drink or not. And Some blame has to be put on the brothers. They need to monitor actions, if someone has a .5 BAC then you can definitely tell, and the brothers should have cut him off long before that.
However, I am on the fence whether the chapter should of got the axe. I know that the school and the national office first priority needs to be safety, so action needs to be conducted, but I don't think there was clear evidence that the chapter is disruptive or wouldn't prevent this in the future.
