Being a local, they may not have the same definitions that the Nationals do, though.
Wonder how the local laws read in Buffalo.

New York hazing law:
§ 120.16. Hazing in the first degree
A person is guilty of hazing in the first degree when, in the course of another person's initiation into or affiliation with any organization, he intentionally or recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of physical injury to such other person or a third person and thereby causes such injury.
Hazing in the first degree is a class A misdemeanor.
§ 120.17. Hazing in the second degree
A person is guilty of hazing in the second degree when, in the course of another person's initiation or affiliation with any organization, he intentionally or recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of physical injury to such other person or a third person.
Hazing in the second degree is a violation.

I went to Buffalo State, the other SUNY in town, and from what I gather from other higher ed institution in Buffalo, there is sort of a laize faire attitude toward the greeks, including my own school. Let me repeat, this was about 4 years ago, so I don't know what is going on anymore. But talking to some active, seem to be business as usual.
