I see a photo scavenger hunt as a very positive way to build brotherhood
among the class as well as a chance to learn more about the University and
the Chapter. Having photos of the class at say the building (or room) where
the Chartering took place, at one of the University's historic landmarks,
etc. helps the class to learn the information perhaps needed in an unique
and fun way. Items that would be considered should be things that are be
important to the University and to the Brothers of the Chapter. (Not to
mention this also gives a good base for the makings of the scrapbooks.)

(idea snipped)
I put together a similar concept back in 1984, way before I pledged,
except rather than collecting pictures of objects, people were collecting
unique information at locations I hinted at around campus. Nobody had to
do anything illegal, and the hints took you in a wide circle around the
campus (which happened to be SUNY Buffalo's). The information was things
like the address of the manufacturer of a metal door on a monument, the
DOT identification number on a bridge that was easily visible from the
footpath underneath it, etc.

And the seasons they go round and round,
And the painted ponies go up and down:
We're captive on a carousel of time.
We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came...
And go round and round and round in the circle game.
