SCRANTON, PA-October 1, 2003 — The University of Scranton received an anonymous letter detailing hazing allegations involving its basketball cheerleading squad, a university spokesman said. The letter said the cheerleading squad was planning an Oct. 3 initiation ritual that its new members would be forced to attend.

"While the coach was present, the captains sat everybody down ... and told them what they were going to do and that was the only way they could earn their respect," the letter stated.
