Three hazing scandals broke in 2006:
P.S. I only vaguely remembered the soccer scandal and thought I would Google it and discovered the Willy and swimming scandals.
- Women's soccer. There was underage drinking, force kissing and forced lap dances. The team was suspended mid season and some players were suspended for parts of the next season. The coach resigned. It seems that the assistant coaches continued to coach in the next season.

- Willy the Wildcat. New students auditioning for Willie were fake kidnapped. All the current Willies were terminated and placed on probation. Willie did not appear in several games. https://dailynorthwestern.com/2006/...-news-nu-admits-hazing-in-two-more-programs/; https://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2006/05/soccer_mobile.html
- Men's swimming. The hazing involved underage consumption of alcohol, new team members swimming in Lake Michigan when the NU beach was closed and other “inappropriate behavior,” A training trip to Hawaii was canceled. The team was forced to perform community service and placed on probation. Some swimmers were punished individually. https://dailynorthwestern.com/2006/...-news-nu-admits-hazing-in-two-more-programs/; https://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2006/05/soccer_mobile.html
