Two thoughts:
First, why don't you try staying, but when they attempt to haze you, just say no? Just laugh and say that you're not going to do X, that's dumb, and then see what happens. If they tell you that you have to do X or quit, then tell them you'll quit. Maybe they'll let you walk out the door, but you won't know until you try. They may be hazing just because all other pledges have let them get away with it.
Second thought -- my husband was pledge class president, and he quit the week before initiation because he was sick of the disrespect. He said it was a very hard thing to do, since he had built his social life around his fraternity, but he was just too disgusted to stay. It worked out fine for him, and I've always respected him for being that brave.
Good luck!
