Here is how AOII defines hazing:
"Any intentional or reckless act, on or off the property of any higher educational institution or fraternity premises, which is directed at any other student, that endangers or is reasonably calculated or designed to endanger the mental or physical health or safety of that student, or which induces or coerces a student to endanger such student's mental or physical health or safety, including but not limited to, subjecting such student to physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule."
We do not define hazing as just being something that can happen to a new member, which is why the definition we use says "student". I'm not saying what happened in the specific instance above is hazing. But it is something that should be looked into. It is something I would want to know about so that no one in the chapter is feeling unappreciated.
