Legaility depends on the definition and how any action is seen to fit or not fit that definition. Most all National organizations have anti-hazing policy. Universities and Colleges also have policies against hazing that effects all organizations on campus, from ROTC, to athletic, to greek. Most States also have laws against hazing.

A good source for state laws on hazing can be found at http://www.stophazing.org

If you have to question "can my action be seen as hazing" you're better off siding with not doing it.
