I did one that would be considered 100% hazing these days, but anyway...the clues sent them to the old chapter house, my bio brother's chapter house, my boyfriend's chapter house, and my bio mom's chapter house, before bringing them back to our chapter house where I was waiting.

It's pretty easy to come up with clues related to the big's high school (colors or mascot), major, siblings, etc. You don't want to "ruin the surprise", but you want to give them enough that they have fun guessing.

Yeah that's what I'm saying, we are zero tolerance against hazing, thats why the scavenger hunt is kinda a touchy subject because some people are ok with it, others think it can be seen as hazing. I think if its planned correctly and done with care it could be both fun and memorable for the pledges. I had this idea to do a short scavenger, and hopefully get permission from my school to do it, that splits the littles up and leads them to a room on campus where they're family is, we do families in my fraternity, and let the family handle the reveal. I think it could create a better more memorable experience for the littles, and also allow the families to start their own traditions with the reveal.

If you do a scavenger hunt, do it inside someone's house (if someone lives someplace big enough) and all the clues are inside the house. Don't take it outside.
