We had to attend regular chapter meetings and then we would break off into a new member meeting. We also had a pledge retreat and pledge ceremony.
I was a pledge/new member the first year of the "Bridges" new member program, so they were still working the kinks out so we had a few strange things-- such as our bigs were assigned on bid day (and were not initially called bigs) that went away the next year.

Funny! I pledged that year too! We had rosebuddies at first, and I remember the actives throwing a fit because the system had changed. We ended up getting our Bigs by week 3, and we always called them our Big Sisters. And, I agree, the test was not hard!
