Intimidation of any form, whether it's between pledges and actives, pledges and pledges, or actives and actives -- it's hazing.
NPC defines hazing as:
Hazing is defined as any action or situation with or without consent which recklessly, intentionally or unintentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student, or creates risk of injury, or causes discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule or which willfully destroys or removes public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in a chapter or colony of an NPC member fraternity.

Go back and read the definition again, Jhawkalum. It's not hazing unless done as a condition of initiation or continued membership.
One person interviewed (Lumpkin) said she was told once that her involvement in the "disapproved campaign" might result in her being made inactive. That threat,
if coupled with any action described in the definition, might qualify as hazing. Otherwise, the article describes heavy intimidation and coercion, but not hazing.
