zntke711: The student who ate the food ate it to break a record. The people who tried to make him ill can't justify it that way.
You're right, though, that no organization appears to be involved. However, "organization" doesn't have to mean formal or recognized organization. It can plausibly be interpreted to mean any social group. If they put pressure on him suggesting that he might be excluded from a group of friends if he didn't submit to this, then it could be hazing.
Even if they didn't put pressure on him, if they tied him and spun him without his consent, that's civil false imprisonment, civil battery, and probably their criminal equivalents as well. I somehow doubt he's going to want to sue, but the school or the government can go after them whether or not the student wants charges pressed.
(Contrary to popular belief, the government can press charges in criminal cases even if the alleged victim doesn't want them to.)
