If you are ever concerned about national's considering your activities hazing, why not submit a list to them ahead of time? List activities, like say a fundraiser that all the sisiters are participating in, and the pledges are responsible to put it together
with the help of active sisters or whatnot. Since they are your national governing body, it's not like you have to be secretive with them.
The responsiblities I mentioned weren't like the old 'pledge tasks' many GLO's require. I was referring to duties like what I said above, where they are learning about the GLO + how it funtions.
mgdzkm gave more detailed examples of what I was talking about

New member responsibilities. I've got a great idea for this. They will have to learn eventually about each office that the sorority holds. As part of their education, have each officer come and explain their job and the tasks inolved with the office. Then, for say one meeting, a designated pledge acts for new member educator, or secratary, or treasurer. (however you sorority does offices). That way the know what is involved and they learn the responsibilities of being an officer. One pledge per meeting. It isn't setting them apart, it is incorporating them into the meetings and activities.

One of the things we did during our new member education was "shadowing officers". You had to choose any 2 (or maybe it was 3?) offices you thought you might be interested in. Then you spent time w/ the officers, + got to ask them questions + help them out. This was cool because it got the pledges involved in chapter operations.
