To be Orthodox, even to be Modern Orthodox, does not mean that you ascribe to the ultra-whatever extremism of Hasidim. While being Orthodox of any stripe does mean following Halacha, Jewish Law, the interpretations can be quite different between the groups--sort of like comparing understanding of the US Constitution between, say, Democrats and Tea Baggers.
