You are the new pledge mom for your sorority and you are in a meeting with your assistant pledge mom, and the ritualist to plan new member ceremonies for the new pledge class. The ritualist suggests that for one of the ceremonies the girls stand in a line, and each have to answer questions about the sorority. If they get any wrong they get screamed at by the rest of the sisters and forced to stay in the basement alone together until they learn it. What would you do in this scenario?
Speak up, break tradition, alternatives to learning facts about the sorority.
For new member Ed an older brother suggests locking the guys into a closet until they can come out and recite their entire ritual chant. What's one thing to do besides that?

You're in a sorority and you are attending a pregame for your fall banquet. Another sister comes up to your pledge sister and asks her to take a swig of a handle of vodka, she resists and say no because she needs to sober the banquet. After she says no you watch as the other sister pressures her and calls her names until she finally gives in and the other sister pours some down her throat. What would you do?
Go to someone you can trust, speak up to your other sisters in sake of your pledge sister, do not allow peer pressuring as it can escalate.

One of your friends has a massive exam the day after one of your new member education sessions. The night of new member ed your friend expresses she cannot stay late or drink as she needs to study, however, her older sisters make her go to new member Ed and convince her to "take a few shots" as it won't affect her too badly tomorrow. The meeting doesn't end until 2 am and your pledge sister ends up sleeping through her exam. What would you do?
Put school over any Greek life events, talk to an older sister how this is not okay, use your resources such as your hazing prevention officer and president.
For bid day some older members invite the new members over to the house to hangout. The guys are discussing things to do with the guys they have now invited into their organization. What can they do?
