While it definitely sounds and feels like a hazing "overtone" to me....I think the initiatied member would get more done by questioning whether or not this happened by the book (rather than crying "hazing"). Sounds like some procedures weren't followed. For example, I'm sure it's written somewhere that the person being brought up before standards is to receive a 24 hour and/or written notice (something like that). Also, minutes should have been taken, and probably an adviser should have been there. The darkened room is just silly....too dramatic (unless there is some sort of prescribed, written ritual for this....but I doubt it).
I would have that person check the procedure, make a written statement of what occured, and talk with either the chapter adviser or other appropriate adviser (Standards Adviser/Risk Management Adviser). You don't want members exaggerating their "power" in the group...that is one way for the "hazing mentality" to take root.
