It would end up being messy if the campus found out and labled the activites as "hazing." Also inform the "new members" that the events planned are not being forced upon them but would be looked down on if not completed. Bottom line: DO NOT involve the campus and make it seem like it is an option.

Well, on one hand, it looks like a tidy way to get around this....but let's call it what it is...just a creative way to tell yourself that something that isn't okay IS okay. Bottom line is, If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck....then, friends,...it's a DUCK!
And that is exactly what any prosecuting attorney or newspaper reporter who gets ahold of your hazing gone-bad situation will say to anyone who will listen, including a jury.
So, while you aren't likely to get fried for things like signatures, it is just one of those things that separates your members and sets up the culture that new members are somehow LESS valued and less entitled to brother/sisterhood and have to EARN their way in after they have already been chosen by you.
