If you have a concern, it would be best to contact your sorority's headquarters, or a national officer. I know that there have been many discussions in our KD yahoogroup about what is and isn't hazing, and we have usually gone to either a N.O. or HQ for an "official" word.
I really doubt that by itself would constitute hazing, many national sororities give new member exams (KD included). Like dzandiloo said, if you make them do it with a mouthful of marbles or scream at them or say it while holding a lit match, yes that would be hazing.
It's all about context sometimes.
