Human nature embraces any kind of rite of passage. Even impromptu ones --- that's where hazing comes in.
Hazing has come to be this glorified rite of passage; students expect it and in some cases welcome it.
That doesn't make it right. Greeks need to take more of a stance on hazing, and students and advisers need to eliminate it and publicize their success in eliminating it. Bad news spreads. You have to work to promote good news.
As we know.... Banning Greek Life won't eliminate hazing. It will just eliminate hazing in Greek organizations. Next we'll have to ban every known group activity until there is no possible way of influencing group-think.
... Hazing isn't going away. I don't condone it, and I am in favor of closing down chapters of organizations who haze.
While we're at it and crucifying college students, lower the drinking age back down to 18, and kids will stop drinking themselves to death in private... at least on a larger scale.
