You're getting your letters burned into your flesh. I don't think most juries would have a problem finding the connection there.

If it was a part of the intake process, then yes it would be considered hazing. However, from my experience, as far as NPHC orgs are concerned, you can't get branded unless you are a member.
And like my Soror Msn4med1975 stated, it is a personal decision whether or not you want to get branded.
