I don't think study hours should be considered hazing at all. That's silly. I think some administrators are taking what is considered to be hazing to a whole other level. But that's another topic. But, no I think study hours are necessary considering all the activities that incoming members have to do during their education process. It's important to make sure that incoming members know that academics and getting your education/degree is the reason they are in college in the first place.
