If you do it of your own free will it's bod-mod not hazing.
Someone down there needs to get a stick out of their ass and realize that.

This has been discussed at length before. But I'll say it again. Hazing often creates situations where individuals will do things to be part of the group that they normally wouldn't do. Getting branded can potentially be one of those things. If I were accused of killing a candidate by making him drink an entire bottle of vodka, do you think an adequate defense would be that he actually swallowed the stuff and drank it on his own free will?
The line between what is and isn't hazing is very blurry, especially because of many of our HQ's somewhat ambiguous policies on the subject.
