One thing we do, that a lot of fraternities cheat on, is submit our new member program to our PCD (RD, whatever you guys call them, the person in charge of our region of the sorority). She looks it over and makes suggestions and any changes to anything that would possibly be construed as hazing.
I know fraternities on our campus do this too, but the things they say are generic. For example, our plan will say "Third Sunday: Teach the following Gamma Phi Beta songs: X, Y, Z, Q, P, V. Take quiz on history from last week. Discuss NPC alcohol policy. After the official event is over, the girls who live in like to watch Real World and the new members are invited to stay." The guys will say something like "Third Sunday: Brotherhood activity and history test."
We're teaching them the same principle, and saying we're doing the same thing, but the sorority spells out what we're doing. If the guys were as honest and blunt as the females were, they'd be saying "Lineup in the basement, followed by a game of pledge hockey." I think you can assume their HQ wouldn't be happy with that.
