Well, as I live in a college town....

Hazing laws make it a criminal act to intentionally force a registered student into harmful physical activity, intimidating physical activity or forced boozing in order to join a group in a public or private educational institution.

It's a misdemeanor. And it's also a misdemeanor if you know about it, but fail to report it. At least that's the law in Texas... and in between UT and A&M here, fraternities do have histories of hazings gone awry,

I don't see how movies about hazing could be the least bit illegal.... assuming that your content involves *actors* and not actual students who are actually trying to get into an actual school.

That's why on television you see car commericials of the new automobiles breaking speed limits, flying through the air, going cross country and other things you yourself can't do.... it doesn't make the television commercial "illegal."
