You are a wonderful person and were well-intentioned. Thanks!!
Oh and that cat is creepy. LOL.
I am not saying to completely turn a blind eye. I am saying to err on the side of caution when a student has diarrhea of the mouth
(which college students tend to have when talking TO and ABOUT faculty and staff) and you aren't quite sure of the "goings on". Sometimes it can suffice to keep some contact with students and remind students to be safe and seek help
(not necessarily from you) if something happens that the student finds too compromising
(that is extremely subjective and doesn't automatically constitute "pledging" and hazing). The student (and GLO) will have to figure it out from there.
