Well, as an Alpha who's had an A-Phi-A tattoo for the past 18 years, I can assure folks that not only do tattoos show up on black skin, but they don't fade over time either.
Don't mean to hijack, but I just have to say that if your tattoo hasn't faded you must have had one great artist. I have 2, and they are fairly new. While the one on my back is still in great shape, the one one my leg has faded, and it's not even a year old yet.

But back to the question at hand. If fraternity or sorority members choose to get branded of their own volition, then to me that is not hazing. However, if they are foreced or feel in any way pressured (because of tradition) to get branded then I would say it was hazing.
