I had to laugh at the girl saying "of course it involved alcohol."

I have long advocated that we meet this imposter on the field and court, head to head, in football, basketball, and soccer.

The loser has to change its name.

PS: I suspect all of these ladies have lawyers, and will benefit from it. Chapters in trouble should get lawyers quickly too.

You know it took me a little while to understand what you ment by 'Imposter'... lol...

Be nice... its my 'maybe soon to be' grad school

Sheila,
I mean really... alcohol?! Could we expect anything else from IUP?

NOTHING beats when my sister was at an IUP/Clarion game, and you know the flags that they have at IUP? The big I, U and P flags? Well someone (prob the cheerleaders themselves) put the P flag upside down and they ran them on IUP's side... so Clarion got to see...

d U I

ha.

I thought they would be too busy drinking and partying to haze at IUP.

I wouldn't assume that. This isn't the sort of area where people have lawyers on retainer. Unless all the girls are from Philly.

More on the hazing, and also discusses the death of a Theta Chi pledge on Sept. 30.

I thought Theta Chi was gone from there ages ago? Or maybe I'm thinking of Crows.

And are there similar cheerleader "initiations" elsewhere? I mean, you have to try out, that should be enough. However I could easily drink a gallon of milk in an hour (as long as it's whole milk).

The Varsity Cheers at our kids high school, who generally ranked first in the state in competitions and went to the national competitions at Disney World most years, got in trouble for underage drinking.

Daughter number two was a JV that year, and I'm pretty sure she went to a few beer parties with her older friends -- but couldn't prove it at the time.

I know for certain that there was hazing, but I don't know that alcohol was involved in that per se.

OK, I just read in the Penn about that Theta Chi pledge's death. He committed suicide. He hanged himself. Are they saying that because he drank at a mixer, he hanged himself? You've got to be kidding me.

That really is a stretch isn't it?

No, that is not meant to be a really bad pun about someone hanging himself.

Suspended until May:

You know what? If I were in charge of that school, I would just kick all the instigators off the squad and hold tryouts for new girls. Granted, there is enough talent at this school that I don't think the cheerleading quality would suffer (after the initial problem of having to learn routines quickly, etc.) . . . that may not be the case at a smaller school.

33girl · #15 10-13-2005, 01:30 PM

There are around 12,000 students there. I think they could find enough to fill a new squad.
