Scavenger hunts. I'm sorry, the generations before you ruined them for everybody. They became risk management and/or hazing issues because:
1) Penalties imposed for not finding everything on your list (eg. drinking a shot for each thing not found)
2) The items to be found became more and more embarassing/risque/illegal (used condoms, mushroom print/nipple print in a peanut butter jar, stealing a parking ticket off of a car, etc)
3) Scavenger hunts that required driving or walking/running outdoors became dangerous because, in the excitement of trying to beat another team that was close, etc, people didn't necessarily look both ways, follow traffic laws, etc.
4) Some required taking pictures of you doing all these things.. easy evidence of wrong doings.
5) When scavenger hunts involved new members going to other GLO houses to get items, those other GLOs often made the new members do something to "earn" the items.. be it drinking, kissing, singing, cleaning their house, etc.
So sure, you say "Well we won't do THAT!", but the reality is, it won't start out being like the above, but it grows, changing little by little each year and before you know it, it's gone really bad. Even our alumnae club had to stop having our annual road rally because of risk management/liability issues of racing in cars to each location in the attempt to win.
As a member of a GLO from the 80's, I'm sorry.. some of our members screwed things up for generations to come. All GLOs pay the price for the actions of the stupid minority.
