Consent? Ohio - Bowling Green State U. (Kappa Alpha Order)

According to the December 6 '06 Toledo Blade, Bowling Green State U. is investigating possible hazing. Pledges of Kappa Alpha Order were found outside covered in paint and being yelled at.

The article reports that the chapter president said the pledges had signed waivers of liability and were participating voluntarily.

I'm not a lawyer, but maybe a member of the Ohio bar or someone extremely familiar with Ohio law could answer a question or two.

Ohio law seems to me to say that consent is not a defense to charges of hazing. Does that mean that the "waivers of liability" are not worth much in an instance like this?
