In high school, I was a part of the dance/cheerleading squad.The common requirement for the squad was to be a good dancer that can easily pick up cherography and to have an adequate flexibility skills.
In the squad, the seniors tend to be the most flexible and great dancers due to the years of experience. As a freshman, the seniors were held to a higher level of admiration, second to the coach. This admiration is in some ways gave them "power" to dictate a "norm" that should be followed in the group.
In order to be noticeable and in the"clique" of the seniors, you have consistently watch what you eat, how you dress, who you talk to outside the squad etc. As a freshman seeking the approval and sense of belonging in an entirely new setting, it was easier to conform to this"norms" and standard in order to be a part of the squad social life.
In conforming, I gained their " respect" and was considered "popular" in the student body.
