Wow, my heart goes out to the family, and I am shocked that the fraternity, if their comments are reported correctly, doesn't seem to have learned anything.

That said, mental health issues are very complex, and can rarely be attributed to one cause like this. Drawing a straight line from hazing to suicide does little to improve understanding of either one.

Given the number of people who struggle with mental health issues beginning in the college years, I really wish it was a priority topic for chapter development (or whatever you call your meetings where you learn about stuff). Virtually every campus has resources available, and I'd love to see presentations where these are discussed with members, along with some warning signs that you should keep an eye out for, both in yourself and in peers.
