As I said before, most GLOs are pretty clear what is considered hazing and is prohibited. APO specificaly prohibits scavenger hunts, road trips, kidnapping, paddling, branding, forced activities, physical conditioning, personal services, limits on eating, sleeping, etc. This is all set down in our Membership & Risk Management policies available on our National website.
While I've not taken the time to study them, from similiar threads on this general topic, many GLOs and the various National GLO bodies all have very similiar policies. I recall someone from a social GLO posted their policy and it was pretty close to APO's.
The problem I've seen have been:
1) members/chapters who haven't gotten the message that such practices are now not allowed and still do them.
2) members (usually old guard alum) who disagree that particular practices should be banded and try to perpetuate them.
Educating the membership will help in hopefully eliminating these problems.
