My first reaction is to tell you to find your national website and search for contact information and inform headquarters. Then to inform your Greek advisor.
However IF you can't do that because you're too afraid of your chapter closing...honestly, I can understand that. That's a very, very hard decision. Here's the thing. If your ENTIRE pledge class will vow to REFUSE to participate in hazing, you can change it. It has to be EVERYONE in participation. But if they're willing to do it and take the crap from the older girls...because they will give you crap, understand that...for the greater good then maybe you truly can change things. They cannot kick out an entire pledge class. I'd love to see them explain to their national that they dropped their whole pledge class because they refused to haze.
Try to find sympathetic older sisters, too. Chances are someone feels like you do. When this next pledge class comes in, treat them like you should've been treated. They'll be loyal to you and not the mean older girls. And those girls will be gone soon enough. Four years from now you'll run the chapter.
Most organizations require you to report hazing or suffer punishment along with the perpetrators. Find out what your organization's position on this is. Correct protocol is to report it. But if y'all can't, I would do the above. Though by all means if you choose not to report it and you can't force change, please, please report it. I know it would be so painful for your chapter to close, but hazing is NOT RIGHT.
