Most of these rules are pretty standard, as many have said. Here's a comparison to my campus and yours....
Pledges should be at home, in bed, by 12 PM. Any New Member events must be over and NMs out of the house by 11 pm on weeknights, 12 Midnight on Saturdays.
Pledging can't start until 9 PM. I would imagine this may be in place due to night classes. If you can't start until 9 PM, it forces the NMs to attend night classes. I would be willing to bet a problem has arisen in the past that dictated this one.
Pledging can't be off campus (this campus is less then 1 square mile) No idea on this one...unless you don't have houses. Helps campus to keep an eye on you though!
No hazing, hazing as interpreted by the director of greek life.
Everything must be optional, and no one is required to attend anything.
Again, pretty much the same, although our HQs also dictates these sorts of rules. If a campus rule is stricter than a HQ rule, you follow the stricter of the 2.
As someone else said, go to your Greek Life office and ask the director for written definitions of these guidelines, and make sure you document the meeting with an email. This way, you have proof if something were to come up, that you tried to utilize campus resources.
