, forcing alcoholic beverages on an individual who does not wish to drink or who has no wish to drink the quantity provided, required eating of raw onions, spoiled food or the drinking of any liquids not normally used. These are only a few of the many activities that can be construed as hazing. Some activities are easily categorized as hazing, while others may not be so easily classified (Washington). "You would not think that hazing occurred in high schools, but the truth is it does" (Chmelynski 61). In her freshmen year, Susie Ryan joined her high school cheerleading squad and when she decided to attend cheerleading camp her worst nightmare occurred. Susie arrived at camp to hear her coach instructing the girls that this particular year there would be no initiations. Susie did not understand what her coach was talking about, so she ignored it, expecting to have what she thought would be the best time of her life. Susie bunked with a senior named Amy who, according to Susie, did not like her at all. The first night the two girls were together Amy became very abusive, she called Susie a "Bitch" and threatened to kill her. Susie did not know what to do so she went to her coaches who told her it was too late to do anything about it and to go back to her room and go to sleep. Their advice was to simply ignore Amy. On the second night around 4 a.m. Susie was awakened by eleven girls shouting in her room. The girls lifted her out of her bed, duct-taped her to a chair and tied hair bows around her wrists so tightly that her fingers turned blue. When Susie yelled for them to take the stuff off the girls told her "NO WAY, this is initiation!" After saying this they took a dirty gym sock and shoved into Susie's mouth, taping it shut. Following this, the girls took her into the bathroom where Susie saw the other six freshmen girls, tied up as well. One girl had only a pajama top on and had her head shoved down a dirty toilet bowl. When she started crying they taped her faced up to an ironing board that pulled down from the wall. Susie's friend Meghan also had a sock in her mouth and the girls taped her body around a trash can like a coiled snake. They shoved chewed bubble gum all between her toes and smeared red lipstick down her legs as if it were menstrual blood. Meghan's arm, which she had hurt in practice, was hanging awkwardly at her side. Susie kept making noises, so to shut her up the girls threw her in the shower still taped to the chair and turned the cold water on. They tilted her chair back so that the water ran down her face, making it impossible for her to breathe. She was left in the cold shower crying and choking. Soon the girls started chanting "You're really cheerleaders now!" When the coaches finally came into the bathroom they started laughing loudly. They instructed the older cheerleaders to get a camera and wrote "NEWCOMERS" across their foreheads in eyeliner and lipstick. After putting a sign in Susie's lap
