I'm not aware of any professional GLOs having a significant pledging requirement, and at many campuses, membership in one, unless you are an officer is a fairly minimal time commitment. I am less familar with service orgs, like APO, but I've gathered that it varies widely from campus to campus, with some chapters being VERY social, and with others never really scheduling anything not directly related to service projects.

Unless an APO Chapter is barred by their school, they will have a pledge program. How 'significant' it is will vary from school to school. Most chapters should have some level of social events (we call them fellowship events), but again, how much will vary from school to school.

For OPhiA, the pledge period is pretty significant and will take up a good bit of time. There are social and service reqs, and while there is some variety from chapter to chapter, the core is a national standardized program.

Just in case anyone was curious
