With hazing, especially in this situation, it is all about perception. You being the pledge/new member may not feel hazed, but it still could be percieved as hazing by another member of an organization. Furthermore, it does not matter if the member wants to be hazed or treated in a certain way, it still can be considered hazing in some eyes. Best bet, don't drop the H-bomb. Once you mention that you guys were hazing, or might be, it will spread like wild fire. Rumors, gossip, hearsay about an organization hazing, not good. Even if it is as harmless has what you have mentioned.
