The high schools in my area all have Reveler. Its a "high school sorority" if you will. Once you have received (and accepted) the invitation to rush you are automatically given a Big Sis. Your Big Sis is responsible for deciding what you wear each day for a week. You receive a bucket to fill w/ candy & a notebook for the Reveler girls to keep tabs on your credits/demerits. Each year the rules for rush change, but there are a few rules that stay the same: No makeup, no eating candy, no talking to boys (except teachers or family), and no shaving your legs. You are required to have 250 credits by the end of the week to continue (credits are given for the candy you have & only give to the Reveler girls, for following the rules, singing in the cafeteria or halls, wearing what your Big Sis picked out for you, proposing to boys, etc.) and your demerits are factored in to the credit value. If you have 250 credits you continue on to confession, which is when you confess for any rules you broke throughout the week but didn't get caught doing. Confession gets really messy because (regardless of whether you confessed anything or not they'll say you are lying) and you are covered w/ chocolate, peanut butter, syrup, & anything else sticky that can be found.
Some chapters of Reveler are less/more strict than the Reveler I was part of...another high school chapter (the chapter my sister was a member of) covered their girls in hydrogen peroxide (among other things) during Confession & a girl was allergic to it. It left burns all over her body.
Being a legacy I wasn't given any special treatment, although I doubt I would've gotten an invitation to rush otherwise. I've always thought that Reveler was fun, no one (for the most part, depending on chapter) gets hurt & if you don't want to follow a specific rule (the rules aren't a big deal), you do so knowing that you will most likely get demerits for it. You can either find ways to not get caught or try to get a lot of credits in another area. Its all in good fun!
