I really don't see how anything that a person willingly wants to do can be considered hazing.
I could construe the legal definition to say that my professors are hazing me by assigning papers.

Only if you are supposedly in pursuit of the organization known as "students without Fs." Plus, the papers your professors assign you are course requirements and even rites of passage that are well documented, just like the formal requirements and rites of passage for your fraternity are.
It is also a good thing that consent is not a legal defense because that angle has been attempted over and over again throughout the years. So the laws have been updated accordingly.

This is my biggest problem with hazing laws.

Absolutely as long as he wants to join the organization.
If he doesn't want to join it, no one's forcing him to.
