He too thought fraternity hazing is weak and should be how it once was.

Sorry if this has already been stated but with all due respect, it sounds like your friend from West Point was discharged from the Army. Cadets that attend West Point have to serve at least four years in the army before being able to be discharged. When you graduate, you do so with a commission. Most cadets then decide to serve longer than the four years. "It's not just a job, it's a career." If your friend came directly to your school from West Point, "after finishing school" then most likely he was either dismissed from West Point and or discharged from the service. And unless it was for medical reasons, it very well may have been a dishonorable discharge.
The reason I bring this up is that your friend may not be the best resource with respect to the West Point Academy and their "hazing".
By the way. Training for the service is very different than hazing. Yes hazing did - and perhaps still does - go on within the service academies. But that doesn't make it right. My nephew is a 2nd year at the Air Force Academy and he has some "stories" to tell. But the best one is that after there was a crack down on hazing, the camaraderie, the working as a unit, all the things that the brass were afraid would fall by the way side did not. Actually it got better.
