I doubt that.
Go to your next convention and ask one of the grey-hairs that question. I don't know one way or the other, but I would have to assume that hazing has been around a long, long time.
My fraternity was founded in 1869, essentially in response to (and against) the hazing and other morally objectionable practices which were being perpetrated by the forerunner organization of ATO. Hazing was alive and well in 1869. It has deep roots in the american educational system. I have no reason to believe it slackened off on its own between 1869 and WWII.
