Yeah. So under the Oklahoma statute, if blue's chapter is forcing pledges to do extreme calisthenics, that's going to be at least reckless unless they take some real CYA steps like requiring all new pledges to get physicals prior to the extreme physical activity. Even then, it'd be really iffy to the point where I'd definitely veto the activity.
Forced calisthenics are a particularly risky activity. Imagine you have a member with an undiscovered heart condition and they have a full-on cardiac arrest in the middle of your activity.
These things aren't forbidden (mostly) because of some high-minded moral code. These things are forbidden because your national and local leaders don't want to be sued into oblivion for allowing members to negligently harm other members.
