After the incident

• Another District 225 hazing incident made news in April 2004. This time it involved Glenbrook South High School. After an investigation, the board of education announced that 24 members of the school's lacrosse team had gathered at a player's house for an underage drinking party and an initiation paddling of the junior players. All were suspended and had to receive counseling. Subsequently, the rest of the teams' 2004 season was cancelled.
• There was also a rumored attempt by some Glenbrook North High School students in April 2004 to organize another powder puff game. This time the organizers were going to move the game across state lines into Wisconsin. School officials investigated the rumor and made it clear that another powder puff game would not be tolerated.
• In May 2004 four students who were junior students in the 2003 powder puff incident and their parents filed lawsuits in Cook County Circuit Court. The lawsuits named as defendants numerous individuals including the senior girls and their parents. The plaintiffs in their suit are seeking compensation for physical and psychological trauma as a result of the hazing and punitive damages as well.
