There was a tradition in my chapter to do a scavenger hunt inside our house on bid day so that the new members could get their bid day buddies. The bid day buddy wrote notecards to have the new members locate things in the house or specific sisters (for example, "Which Greek Award did we win last year?" or "Find the VP Scholarship"), and eventually (we limited it to I think 6 clues and we would help them if they looked confused so that it didn't take too long) they would be led to their bid day buddy and their bid day basket of gifts. We never saw it as hazing, because everyone had fun and the new members were learning about the house and the sisters, but we had an LC on bid day one year, and she told us that we were absolutely not allowed to do a scavenger hunt, even if the new members weren't stealing things and weren't leaving the house and grounds. Anyway, we were all kind of upset about it because we didn't think of it as a real scavenger hunt. Do you guys think that should have been considered hazing?
BTW, there is an intramural scavenger hunt every year that is held by the Student Activities office. Maybe we should turn them in for hazing, too.
