We did a 'search' sort of thing to find out who our bigs were.. we went from spot to spot around campus, and our bigs were at our last stop. Technically, we couldn't call that a scavenger hunt, because that would be considered hazing. I think things like that are a little excessive; all of the girls enjoyed the scavenger hunt a lot!
I think any sort of real 'hazing', such as intimidation or humiliation, or even yelling at pledges, is wrong. How can groups that pride themselves on sisterhood turn around and be so callous to their own sisters? I think that new member education programs are beneficial, but they need to be taught from the viewpoint of the necessity of knowing your organization's roots and traditions, not that you're just a crappy pledge and have to do all this work.
Just my view.. I'm glad my sisters don't support hazing at all, and if they did, I would have lost a LOT of respect for them.
