Whether it's hazing or not (who really knows with some many rules nowadays) I think it's a bad way to de-stress your pledges.
How does scaring the crap out of your pledges loosen them up? If anything they were probably more tense aftwards and will ontinue to be tense because they don't know if and when you're going to pull another practical joke on them.
There have been a lot of good suggestions given in this thread for relaxation. I suggest that you use one of them instead of pulling practical jokes on your pledges.
