To illustrate just how hard it is to break these high school hazing cycles, here's an update from Northbrook, IL.
The district has looked at all of the student activity traditions and suggested that certain traditions be dropped, because they could lead the participants down a proverbial slippery slope. One of these traditions is TPing the homes of swim team members before big meets. The school said don't TP, chalk the sidewalk or make posters/banners instead.
So what happened, the swim team PARENTS (and a IHSA swimming referee) went out and TPed the houses. Apparently the parents liked the attention they got when it was apparent to the community that their child is a star!
There are rumours that powder puff is planned for prom weekend in Lake Geneva, WI. Even with all the negative publicity, arrests and convictions, it's really hard to stop this stuff once it gets started.
