I don't think anyone is ready to conclude guilt.
Back in my active days, I had a little something to do with getting a pledge kicked out. I was, of course, accused by both this kid (and his mother) of hazing, which was a lie. In fact, they went so far as to try to seek redress through the University and through our Headquarters. Fortunately for me, no one found them credible enough to even take it to the next step.
All we know is this: An entire pledge class dropped.
As to why, consider this clip from the story:

Four of the pledges, who were granted anonymity because they feared retribution from active Lambdas, had slightly differing accounts of DTYD and other pledge events. (Some of them attempted to retract their tape-recorded statements in similarly worded e-mails sent earlier this week, denying they ever pledged the fraternity.) All accounts in this story were reconstructed from coinciding details.

Often when pledges drop out or are asked to leave, they will want to take revenge. There are other possible explanations here.
