This is true and has been for a while - in the eighties, a few years after I graduated, one of our sororities at UMaine was kicked off campus for branding their pledges. There were rumors about others on campus, too. As an AOII, I wasn't hazed as you would have defined it back then, but it would definitely be considered hazing now. I'm not sure why it's such a Northeast thing but I'd love to know.
