I understand that.
If the distinction was made between hazing (as a crime) and organizational membership infractions, then we wouldn't be in the mess we're in with "everything" being considered hazing.
Each organization should have the power to determine their own rules without essentially watering down the meaning of hazing.
I blame Hank Nuwer and them, too.
