Really. He needs to tone it down on these comparisons—aside from the inappropriateness of them, he might just find some people comparing him to particular leaders who bypassed or suspended democratic processes because, well, the ends justify the means.

The days of serious fraternity hazing—a college Greek life tradition that in some cases has led to tragedy in recent years—could be numbered.

That’s because a fraternity association is taking steps to rein in the practice, and perhaps end it for good.
The North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC), which represents 75 fraternities worldwide, has announced an effort to research ways to stop harmful activities often associated with the campus groups, including alcohol abuse, sexual assault, and hazing. http://associationsnow.com/2014/04/fraternity-leadership-group-calls-end-hazing/
Huh? National fraternities and fraternity groups have been trying to end hazing for years. The first sentence—that SAE doesn't seem to be on its own—isn't supported by what comes after. Ending hazing is not the same as abolishing pledging, and abolishing pledging is not the same as ending hazing.
