If your GLO is a member of FIPG, then scavenger hunts are definitely prohibited - because of the liability issues.

As for signatures, I concur with much of what has alread been posted - they are hazing waiting to happen. I do have another questions regarding signatures - if they are meant to help the NM's get to know the initiated brothers/sisters, how are the initiated brothers/sisters supposed to get to know the same facts about the NM's? (This is important for rush as well as general brotherhood/sisterhood.) When you look at it this way, it becomes hazing. If it is something that the NM's are required to do that the initiated brothers/sisters are not, by definition it is hazing.
