Problem: Article: Once you've accepted a bid from a fraternity, you still have to undergo the pledging process, which is essentially where you continue learning about the frat and pledge to uphold the traditions and expectations thereof. You can expect to dedicate a large portion of time organizing frat events, representing the frat at school-related events such as sports, and giving time to the frat's chosen charitable organizations. Due to the highly controversial history and connotations of pledging, many fraternities have actually done away with the process. This means that while you will be expected to maintain a commitment to learning about the community and upholding its practices, you may not actually have to pledge. While many college campuses and fraternity chapters have widely cracked down on the practice of hazing, it's not unheard of. Generally speaking, fraternities feel the hazing process is a rite of passage proving your dedication and desire to belong. However, there's a huge difference between showing your dedication and subjecting yourself to humiliating or potentially dangerous acts. If you ever feel as though you're being harassed by the brothers of your fraternity as you pledge, then take it to someone higher up. If you feel the actions go beyond anything that the higher ranking brothers of the fraternity would allow, take it to them. If you don't feel like you can take it to other frat brothers, then talk to someone at the student affairs office at your college. The student affairs office will allow you to remain anonymous if you so choose. They will then take up the issue with the fraternity and even law enforcement if necessary. Never feel as though you're snitching or simply can't hack it in the face of unacceptable behavior. You'll have to decide for yourself what you find an acceptable level of razzing from the fraternity brothers as you earn your place in the organization as a pledge, but never allow them to cross a line with which you aren't comfortable. Though not hazing, pledging is still an intensive process of continuous learning and integration into fraternity life. You can expect to spend roughly six to twelve weeks as a pledge depending on your fraternity. During your time as a pledge, the fraternity will expect you to sample the wide range of activities in which they take part. This usually includes helping one of the philanthropic organizations the fraternity supports. This can range from helping to organize a fundraiser to donating time to the organization. Many fraternities require keeping your GPA above a certain threshold in order to maintain your involvement. Develop good study habits early on, so that you're never stuck in a bad situation when grades roll around. While pledging, the frat will likely advise you to familiarize yourself with study halls and other academic support that they offer. In addition to philanthropic and academic responsibilities, fraternities will also expect you to maintain a level of participation with social events. Fraternities want to be well represented at campus functions, athletic events, and other social venues, and pledges may be expected to engage in quite a few of these events. Pledges may even be tasked with helping do the legwork in getting the word out about the fraternity's events. Above all, prepare to be active.
Summary: Know what to expect. Take a zero tolerance approach to hazing. Make the time commitment. Engage in philanthropic practices. Keep up with your academics. Participate in social events.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Higher denomination slots have a higher payback percentage than lower denomination games. For example, you're better off paying a dollar slot than a quarter slot. This is true even if you make a lower bet on the dollar game. For example, you might make a $2 better on a dollar machine and a $3 bet on a quarter machine, but you'll still have a better chance of winning on the dollar slot. Since the slots at the end of rows are most visible to people walking through the casino, management often puts games with higher payback percentages on the end of the row to attract players. There might be a row that contains all the same game, but the machine on the end may give you a bit more of an advantage. If you have dreams of winning the jackpot on a slot, you must make the maximum bet on each spin. There's usually a "Max Bet" button on the slot, so you can be certain that you're playing the right amount. Max bets are especially important on progressive slots, where a percentage of each bet is added to the jackpot(s). They typically have a minimum bet that you must make in order to be eligible.

SUMMARY: Choose a higher denomination game. Play games at the end of rows. Bet the maximum amount on your spins.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: One of the easiest substitutes for baking soda is baking powder. If you have baking powder in your cabinet, simply add triple the amount of baking powder to your recipe. For example, if your recipe calls for one tablespoon of baking soda, add three tablespoons of baking powder. You can substitute baking powder for baking soda in pretty much any recipe that requires baking soda. If you're out of baking powder as well, check to see if you have self-rising flour. Self-rising flour contains a small amount of baking powder, so it can also be used as a baking soda substitute. Simply replace the regular flour in your recipe with self-rising flour. If you don't have baking ingredients to use as substitutes, check your medicine cabinet for potassium bicarbonate. This is a medication sometimes used to treat conditions like acid reflux or hypertension. For each teaspoon of baking soda in a recipe, add one teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate mixed with a third a teaspoon of salt. This usually works out best when baking cookies. It may not work out as well for recipes like cakes, pancakes, muffins, and other baked goods.
Summary: Use triple the amount of baking powder. Use self-rising flour. Mix potassium bicarbonate and salt.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a spoon to mix the dried herbs and seeds until they're combined. Since this makes 2 cups (138 g) of dried herbal tea (which makes about 100 servings of brewed tea), transfer the tea to an airtight container that's large enough to hold it all. If you store the herbal lactation tea in an airtight container away from direct light, it will last for up to 4 years. Put the lid on the teapot or place a saucer or lid over the teacup. This traps the steam and prevents your tea from cooling as it steeps. Then, set a timer for 5 minutes.
Summary:
Stir the dried ingredients and store them in an airtight container. Steep the tea for 5 minutes.
