Scavenger hunts are listed as an example of hazing/risk management issues. . .HOWEVER, I know few chapters who don't do them.

I think it's because we as individual chapters have run safe and risk-free scavenger hunts.

Suggestions:

Like Q5 said, videotape the scavenger hunt. Mu Alpha asks that photos are taken. This way, the Brothers see that you went to the places you were supposed to, yet you don't have to bring anything back. (I think previously, scavenger hunts encouraged stealing and tom-foolery)

Themes are a good idea.

You could also do a Brother-based scavenger hunt, like each pledge gets obscure clues about certain brothers, and you have to find them.

Whatever you do, just take all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of the pledges.

Also, check with your school's rules. They might ban scanvger hunts anyway.
