Depends on how many of your friends end up in the Greek system. Winter quarter tends to suck pledges away simply because pledging requires a lot of time spent at the respective houses.

Pledging processes vary across houses. My house required a meal plan switch (from 13 to 6 meals a week at the university, rest at the house) and a weekly meeting, along with assignments and 1-2 events. That wasn’t much compared to other fraternities. Grades can change depending on how you handle it. I know one fraternity forced their pledges to drop one class for the quarter.

3 fraternities are currently not on probation. Take from that what you will.

I cannot know for sure, but I expect that most houses will haze. There are at least three houses (the ones not on probation) that do not haze. Alcohol hazing is common.
