Earlier this week, we let you know the UCO Cheerleading squad was canceled from campus following a hazing incident that upset the University's fun police because, you know, cheerleaders having a rowdy good time in college is wrong now.
In our hard-hitting, groundbreaking report about the cancellation, we begged... I mean asked... the Ogle Mole Network for more details about the incident. Only a few hours after our article published, we received a DVD in the mail from Mike and Marla Morgan titled "Planes, Trains and UCO Cheerleaders." We don't have a DVD player, so we have no clue what's on it.
Fortunately, the staff of The Vista – the UCO student newspaper that should produce a feature series on famous bloggers who graduated from UCO – has been all over the story like a two-handed stunt. They filed an urgent open records request demanding more details about the incident.
According to the University's report, the heinous hazing acts included:
- Members were blindfolded.
- Members were asked to answer questions that were of a sexual nature.
- Members were asked questions about their sexual preferences.
- Members performed lap dances.
- Members were grinding against objects “in a sexual manner.”
- Members were twerking.
- Members were yelled at in a military fashion.
- Members drank a mixture of things taken from the refrigerator.
- Alcohol was provided to underage team members.
- Members were sprayed with a liquid.
Holy broncho! How do you score an invite to that rush party? I'm a member of the O-Trip Hall of Fame, and the only hazing I had to do was pass the GED while drunk and blindfolded. Instead of suspending the cheerleaders, they should give them A's for increasing student enrollment!
