I don't know what you mean by "contesting," unless it's that I disagree with you. Your example of high school students on a forum dedicated to college greek life will be generally taken to mean that you're applying that situation to greek life -- in that you think that "supervision" (whatever that means) makes any hazing concerns evaporate.

That said, not every discomfort or injury which happens in the pledging process is hazing.

Also, the only way I know to cause an injury with a blindfold is to tie it too tight -- it's what you do while blindfolded that should count.
