I thought the vets really brought the hazing to campus, after they had learned the tricks in boot camp.
Hazing has been around alot longer than that... one only has to look at the 'hellfire clubs' and such formed by students back in the 1700's in merry old England - clubs that had secrets, rituals, and even songs (like the tune to the Star Spangled Banner - the pub/drinking song of one of these clubs).

The British and University athorities launched various campaigns against the groups because of the crimes, hazings, and deaths all too common with these clubs...

If anything the WWII vets only brought a different variation to hazing - but for the most part newspaper clippings and such from that era actually talk about the decrease in hazing because the vets were serious wouldn't stand for shit like that...
