On my campus at least, we havent seen much of the "getting into trouble" type. Fraternities that get in trouble and stay on campus, generally are more careful, but do revert to old practices. The "No-Hazing" type fraternities are generally one of the following, in my experience.
1) New on campus, like you said. Often they are fraternities which although big nationwide, are thought poorly of at the big southern schools. I won't name names, but you can ask me in PM if you actually wanna know. They generally have a tough time competing with the other fraternities, and thus use the no hazing policy to attract rushees. Unfortunately for them, the kids they attract generally couldnt go elsewhere, and so 5-10 years later, they're in the same position.
2) A fraternity that has been around for a while, but has a strict national policy or is a struggling fraternity. To clarify, most of the big fraternities on campus are paid no attention to by HQ. They often use them as examples for operations, but rarely pay attention to what else is going on, probably out of the desire to not know. Those chapters whose HQ do pay close attention, however, are often forced to implement such things, or risk losing money, insurance, etc. There are only a couple on campus like this that I can think of. The other type is a struggling fraternity who like a new fraternity, is looking to move up. Unfortunately, the practice of being a strict no hazing fraternity generally attracts the wrong people, and thus their efforts are self defeating.
