That doesn't sound quite right. Was I being hazed every time my family got together for a BBQ and had a keg there? It was available, I was underage, I saw all the adults drinking...was I coerced into drinking also?
If they pledges were made to drink, yes-clear violation and they need to be punished. On the other hand, if a legal adult choose to break the law by drinking and further by drinking himself in to a stupor, that is no ones fault but his own. When does personal responsibility come into play?
Again, clear RM violation, but not one that should end an otherwise good chapter.
