Is hazing the best way?

[33girl]

Too often (esp if other Greeks are doing them) study hours at the library or other campus buildings turn into social hours. There isn't always a place conducive to studying in the house.

Regardless of national rules, the way I determine hazing is whether an activity has ANYTHING to do with learning things about the national org, the local chapter or the national and local Greek community - or is it something that they're just being made to do for the hell of it, so the initiated members can have "power" over them? Unless your founders include Jack Daniels, Jack LaLanne and the Marquis de Sade, that lets out drinking, physical hazing and beating. OP - maybe look at your pledge program in that way and then go from there.
