Getting bossed around at your job where you get paid (or experience/references for your resume) or training to handle the high-stress duties and risks of being a soldier (who also gets paid) are completely unlike a fraternity or sorority hazing situation.
Last I checked, GLO members didn't draw salaries or have protection under labor laws and the Chis didn't need to prepare for mortal combat against the Upsilons. (names made up to protect the nonexistent)

I was mostly talking about the over-zealous definitions of hazing that prevent things like scavenger hunts. Of course I am not referring to anything that might cause physical or permanent emotional harm. But regulations designed to prevent pledges from becoming "stressed out" seem a bit over the top to me.

And those are the definitions that I am talking about, i.e. over-zealous; definitions which some organizations seem to be governed by.
