School officials determined that the squad violated the school’s policy on harm to persons and hazing and placed the team on probation lasting for one year starting last September.
The alleged incident occurred while the team was on campus participating in a children’s summer camp event. The junior members of the squad were forced to run up and down the stadium stairs and forced into small spaces while other members of the team made loud noises to unsettle them.
However, it was after team members took the others off campus to an abandoned house when things turned ugly.
The girls alleged that members were forced to answer questions and made to remove an article of clothing for every wrong answer. After the accusers were naked, blindfolds were removed to reveal that male alumni were in the room watching them removing their clothing.
“I had taken my blindfold off along with another girl sitting next to me, and two alumni guys walked in and saw us naked,” one of the women said in a May interview with the Kansas State Collegian.
