Two of the injured said last week that they had no idea the seniors would go back on their promise of not physically harming them during their initiation into the senior class.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- CNN
A Cook County Circuit Court judge Wednesday turned down a Glenbrook North High School senior's request to block her 10-day suspension for involvement in an off-campus hazing incident captured on videotape.

Marnie Holz, 18, had sought a temporary restraining order in the case, but Cook County Circuit Court Judge Julia Nowicki rejected the request. Two other suspended students also have filed suit.

Holz claimed the suspension would damage her academic standing, bar her from attending Saturday's prom, and possibly prevent her from graduating with her class.

The judge, however, said that under the terms of the suspension Holz would be allowed to take tests and exams, just not at the school. If she passes those she would be able to graduate.
