A couple of comments:
All of these things are meant to add pressure and stress to the pledge period in one way or another -- if only worrying about when/if they will happen. Any of these can get out of hand because some people just don't know when to quit. That's dangerous.
All are considered hazing under the strict definition of the law and national organization rules.
Hazing is illegal. No getting around it. It's illegal. That's what nobody wants to deal with.
What you should do is a little harder. Your friend and brother, depending on how they feel about these situations, may really resent any action you may take, and those actions could cause really bad and lasting feelings.
So perhaps you should do nothing -- and hope nothing does get out of control. It probably won't. Hopefully.
Besides, sooner or later, they will get caught and lose ther charter. Especially if they're stupid enough to talk about this stuff. Let alone do it.
