That depends on what legal, campus or organizational definition one is talking about. Some definitions define hazing to include any prohibited acts done either as a condition to initiation or continued membership. If I recall correctly, the NPC definition does this.
But some other definitions of hazing only cover acts done as a condition of initiation. I know of some state criminal laws on hazing that only extend that far.
There is no single, universal definition of hazing. While there are certain things that everyone would identify as hazing, there are other things where the application of different policies will yield different answers. Chapters need to be concerned with the laws of the state they are in, the policies of the campus they are on and the policies of their own GLO.
