Some of the best stuff I hear is from my dad. He's a Phi Kappa Sigma from Oklahoma U, and was active back in the early/mid 60's. They used to be one of the top chapters on campus. These days, I'm aware that they exist, but I never hear anything about them, except that they are one of dozens of small to mid sized chapters on OU's campus.
1) Their pledge trainer had been to Vietam and was back. He was unpopular with his pledges. They kidnapped him one night, threw him in the trunk, and drove out to the middle of nowhere. They left him handcuffed to an oil rig in his underwear. They have no idea how he got back, but when he did, he withdrew from school.
2) Rumor has it, they burned down the SAE house.
3) Chinese fire drill -- actives mixed up a bowl of random stuff in the kitchen. It was designed to be the most terrible thing you've put in your mouth. A fire was lit outside. The pledges had to put out the fire by taking a mouthful of the substance and spitting it out on the fire. Apparently, the most effective way to put the fire out is to take a mouthful of the stuff, and try to hold the vomit back until you get to the fire.
4) Random beatings of actives and pledges alike. The pledges versus actives "flag" football game did involve some broken bones.
-- and I'm pretty sure all of this was legal back then. (except for #2, but that might not have had anything to do with pledging, and no one is sure exactly who did it, except that it was most likely a Phi Kap).
