Is Hank Huwer anti-fraternity?

From Hank Nuwer commenting about near-death by forced water consumption of Alpha Phi Alpha pledge at SMU:

"It will take more than two parents' pleas to stop hazing, says Hank Nuwer,
a journalism professor at Franklin College in Indiana and Indiana
University at Indianapolis who has written four books on hazing.

"It's a well-meaning gesture," he said, but he added, "It's creating an
atmosphere that creates false hopes for a lot of people and in the
execution, it never produces social change."

Nuwer said parents such as the Currys should call for more research on
hazing rituals rather than tougher laws. He said there has been at least
one hazing death every year since 1970, but there is too little reliable
information on hazing methods and their prevalence on U.S. campuses."

While I hate all hazing and the bad publicity it brings to all GLOs, and I used to think Hank Nuwer was a positive force, the recent comments from him now lead me to question if he would prefer that GLOs just die.
