As far as what Little E was talking about - many NPC sororities require members to be in another extracurricular. I've never heard it specified WHAT, however. If you want to be in a club that only meets once a year and is basically only to put on your resume, I'm sure that would work - it's not what is intended, but if you're really intent on doing as little as possible I'm sure that you can.
I know I used to read about the sororities' pledges only participating in things like Derby Daze and never thought that was quite right. I still don't, but now knowing the size of the sororities at some schools I'm sure that the poor Sigma Chis would be overwhelmed.

It definitely varies based on what the national practices are and how each chapter carries these practices out. Certain chapters of Alpha Phi Omega incorporate ways to weed out potentials beyond requiring service hours.
As a more general point without trying to take all of these variations into consideration, many organizations have practices that are only required of pledges. These practices can technically be hazing but that's under the very broad categorization of hazing.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
