Actually, the hazing laws are often much more limited than GLO or university hazing policies. Hazing laws establish criminal violations that must give people reasonable notice of what conduct is prohibited. In my state, for example, it doesn't meet the legal definition of hazing unless actual physical injury occurs. (And I stand to be corrected, but I'm not familiar with any federal laws defining or criminalizing hazing; so far as I know, that's left to the states.)
GLO and university policies, on the other hand, are drafted with civil liability in mind, so they are typically likely to be more broad.
