At convention earlier this year, one workshop included information on "hazing after initation." Regardless of the participants willingness, certain actions can still be considered hazing. So... i guess technically incidents like these could be considered hazing, even if the activity is between initiated Brothers (not member to pledge / membership candidate - whatever your org. calls it).

BluTang,
Is it the action itself that is considered hazing, or the cirumstances, too?
I know that in NPHC organizations (and by extension, any GLO on an HBCU campus) that post-pledging is considered hazing. That is to say, a new member class has been initiated, but the old members make the new members feel that they have to submit to hazing in order to be considered "real" members. Technically, they are members, so they can do what they choose, but through the power of coercion, persuasion, or threat of ostracization....I would consider it hazing.
