That's a very big assumption to make. It might just be an issue of them being protective of the pledges and their feelings. It might not have bothered them (the actives) at all when they did it, but they would rather get rid of whatever it is than have someone cry "hazing" on them.
I've seen LOTS of people who enjoyed this or that pledge activity and then 2 years later, were against it not because they didn't have fun doing it but because nationals newly deemed it "hazing" and their butts were on the line. One of my sisters loved doing interviews during her pledge time, then became prez and had to enforce nationals' new program that didn't allow interviews. Did she agree with it? No. Did she enforce it? Yes. But she definitely wasn't saying "this is my revenge on you for hazing me!"
Plus, it might have nothing to do with something local...it might be a national requirement the pledges are objecting to.
