I can only speak from my own personal experience, but OP, you do NOT want to be hazed. For the org I was pledging (non-NPC but still greek-lettered) I was fine with learning national history, chapter history, and district history, doing service events and jumping through all sorts of non-hazing hoops, but the moment my class was hazed I lost all trust and respect for the group and the people in it. It destroyed any desire I had to join a group that would treat me in that manner, and no amount of coaxing by my class could get me to stay with it. Being hazed made me realize that I wanted nothing to do with a group who would treat me that poorly, and that it wasn't worth it.
It's not worth it. A social club with some letters on it is not worth your physical and emotional well-being and dignity. And considering you have never been through it before, I would advise you to keep your opinion to yourself from now on.
