"Hazing" has a completely different definition now than it had in past years. Of course anything physical is (and always has been) regarded as hazing but today hazing is anything outside of your organization's Membership Intake program (which is in compliance with the schools' anti-hazing policies and state laws). So much of what many members never regarded as hazing is in fact considered hazing today. In other words, pledging (which back in the day wasn't regarded as hazing) is hazing today. Many would like to see some form of the pledge process (minus what many consider to be "true" hazing) re-instated for various reasons.
