For example think of how "pledging" is/was used in some NPHC* contexts. Many of those processes have been banned, altered, etc. The use of the term is probably accurate for the situation, but means a hazing process, not just isolated hazing incidents or a new member education process.
*Not that this is the same thing, just drawing a comparison to word use.

Understandable.
But then.. shouldn't the article be called "Cornell to ban hazing, like they should have done a long, long time ago"?
