I've found similar situations happen on my campus, and neighboring campuses. Our Greek advisor has said that punishments are harsher as to deter a harsher form of hazing. Although this may not fit your image of hazing, everything is hazing these days. You have to think of it from an outsider's perspective. If you saw an organization not allowing their new members to wear their colors, you may question it is as well, especially if you are non-Greek.
