It's not sponsored by the org and is usually not done in any capacity that is connected to an official fraternity function. Branding may not be your cup of tea but I wouldn't insult an aspect of SOME fraternity culture just because it doesn't line up with your personal values.

Not insulting it. Just observing how for NIC groups, this act probably does fall under the definition of hazing. From the NPHC groups' hazing policies that I've seen, this would probably fall under their definition as well. It doesn't have to be sponsored by the organization to be hazing. You're getting your letters burned into your flesh. I don't think most juries would have a problem finding the connection there.
