First off it's commendable that you concerned for your friend, secondly your not being overly sensitive. Here is my opinion on your concerns.

Of the 4 "events" you've lsited, the one I find most objectionable is your 3rd one. That one is specifically designed to cause pain, unless they are using a long match.

The 1st one concerning nicknames isn't all that bad, as long as it's in jest amongst the brothers themselves, and its understood by all that it is in jest.

The 2nd one I've done to myself after having more than a little to drink. The toppings you've listed aren't designed to cause the pledge to puke. However if the are forced to eat it, then it's wrong; if not they might aquire new tastes.

The last one I find stupid. There just reinforcing the negative stereotype that many of us try to fight. The claim that since its after initiation and therefore not hazing is BS, they are just hazing the new brothers not pledges.
