If you conceive of a ritual as a rite of passage, I could see the connection between someone calling hazing a ritual.
Yes, while we consider ritual the long-held traditions identified in our formal ceremonies, not everyone is Greek and not everyone understands that not all chapters haze. Our HQ's consider hazing a criminal act and take steps to prevent it through membership education and anti-hazing policies. But the majority of the world isn't Greek and they don't need to know those things.
