This isn't an either/or discussion. Despite the legal definition of hazing that tries to cover it all, we all know that there are a range of new member activities and processes that fall under hazing. And not everyone who opposes hazing will oppose every activity that falls under "hazing." Some are laughable.
Hazing divides some chapters and hazing divides some new member classes. Hazing unites many chapters and hazing unites many member classes. This will be based on the people and activities involved, as well as how both sides behave and feel about the other side and the "hazing" activities.
The evidence of this would be a matter of witnessing various chapters' activities and experiences. There will always be variance because there are thousands upon thousands of fraternity and sorority chapters in the world.
