The pledges can depledge whenever they want if they think its hazing. At the same time if your not happy with something your house does change it, but dont talk smack about other people getting hazed because honestly its not yours or anyones place. Its thier house thier program, like it or not it doesnt matter.

They're breaking their university's hazing policy, therefore I think it's pretty clear that they're hazing.
If they were a local organization and their university had no hazing policy AND they weren't breaking New York state laws (which they aren't, by NY state laws' definition of hazing), then no, it wouldn't necessarily count as hazing. But since their school does have a hazing policy which is openly available on their Greek website, and this fraternity is breaking some of the rules contained in that policy, I think it's pretty clear that the kids are hazing.
Considering the fact that the University of Buffalo has just suspended their charter and is investigating their pledging process for hazing allegations, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose their charter altogether.
