Do you think your organization's risk management policies go overboard?

Yeah, the littler box and pacifier thing are completely taking it too far. I guess it's a lot like the scavenger hunts - people who take things too far will ruin something that was once innocent and not meant to be demeaning

I'm wondering if any risk management policy actually specifically mentions Photo scavenger hunts as being OK. I know it is still possible to get cutsey and wrong on these (get us a picture of a naked 4 year old and what the members *expect* you to do is take a picture of the school mascot, a live pig) but it still seems less obnoxious.

It's ironic that all this "baby" talk has come about because pledges weren't allowed to be called pledges. I had zero problem with being referred to as a pledge, but anyone who called me a "baby bug" would have gotten smacked upside the head.

Let's just face it, "new member" is awfully lame and clinical and you don't want to call someone who's going to be your SISTER something lame and clinical.

Precisely.
