If you can't trust your new members to learn their 'stuff' out of love for their organization, if you can't treat them as sisters from the start, if you feel that they have to "earn" their letters, etc., then you are hazing and you should be ashamed of yourself. It was hazing when it happened to you and it's hazing when you do it to your new members. It serves no purpose: it does NOT build brother/sisterhood, it does not promote unity, it promotes fear and hate not fraternal love, and it is against the law both civilly and morally.

Pledgeing is about trust but how can you trust people you don't know. THe information that I have requires a process and the process that I chose, I would want for myself. I am not recommending anything that you would not want for your mother, daughter, or any member of your family.
