I would have to agree. If you look at the history of many chapter's ritual, it can be traced back to the Masons. There, blindfolds were used on the uninitiated, due to the fact that they were not yet worthy to see that of the initiated.
But truthfully, it could go either way. If acting in sound mind, I see nothing wrong with blindfolds in ritual and such. However, blindfolds used for anything outside what is prescribed by the respective IHQ would have to be defined as hazing.
