You are right. Greeks are living under the microscope and need to behave impeccably for a long long time to change that. We are still reading about awful things being done to new members and, although I do believe that hazing is significantly reduced compared to when I joined my GLO ('84), it's clearly still happening. Nobody is going to relax any rules as long as we're still hearing of hazing deaths, illnesses, and injuries in the news so frequently. The rules will only get more strict as people try to find ways around them.
I have pointed out before that new policies don't only affect the members on college campuses. We had an Alumnae Chapter that did an annual road rally with all the alum in the area from all the chapters used to be invited to. The Road Rally had to stop due to Risk Management issues. Bunches of women racing in cars all over town isn't safe. It's that simple! Road Rallies and Scavenger Hunts are very similar. Scavenger Hunts not only have potential for hazing, but are a big risk management problem also.
