New Hazing Ritual Sweeps America
At the Cheesecake Factory in Chandler, Arizona, employees who are promoted from "server" to "food expeditor" are subjected to a hazing ritual employees affectionately refer to as "dry raping." The group of employees grab the guy who was promoted, take him to the walk-in freezer, pull down his pants, and rub their wieners on the butt area. One guy didn't appreciate the treatment, so he reported it to police. Accodring to police, employees described the incidents as "dogpile, initiation, kitchen games, hazing, manhandling, horseplay and normal joking activity among Hispanic cooks." Susan Lipkins, a psychologist from Long Island, N.Y., an expert in conflict and violence, said sexual hazing like this is normal, but is more commonly found among high school and college athletics or in fraternal organizations such as the military or law enforcement.
