Just a note too, that some NPC orgs do allow tests. For example Pi Phi has an official new member test that everyone must pass to be initiated (although they may be phasing this out... I'm not sure). Other tests would be a no-no, though. There is also an interview with alumnae that was required when I pledged. But that was officially sanctioned. A scary interview in the dark or under duress would not be allowed.
Also any event that is participated in by the whole chapter would not be hazing. For example if the whole chapter did a scavenger hunt as a sisterhood activity and everyone was on teams and there was nothing questionable about it (ie, I know a group on campus that does a liquor scavenger hunt where members have to finish whatever liquor they find on their route) it would be fine. We have a ropes course on our campus too--it's hazing to make the pledges do it, but not if the entire chapter goes. Hope that clarifies the position of most NPCs a little.
