Personally, I think the whole idea of hazing has been blown way out of proportion. According to stophazing.org, you can't do any type of activity in public with your pledges. Exercising? Nope, hazing. Playing a sport? Nope, hazing. Having a drink (even if you're over 21 and only those over 21 are drinking)? Nope, hazing. Sending you pledges and some actives on a scavenger hunt? Nope, hazing.
how do you figure? the website does not say that. those things could be considered hazing, such as: forcing/requiring/expecting pledges to exercise or do other physical activity or participate in a sport; having a drink? maybe drinking a gallon....

in order to determine if something is hazing, you have look at all activities and ask "what's the purpose?" and "could someone get hurt, emotionally or physically?" don't take it to the extreme side and say that everything can be hazing.
