According to the BBC, initiation ceremonies have become traditional in UK universities and are normally organised by student sport clubs for first-year undergraduates. if their
articles are to be
believed, this generally involves eating vomit, marching around in a Nazi uniform with a Tesco bag over your head, sticking fish down your bra and matches up your arse!
Is this really the norm nowadays. I joined quite a few societies at university. From memory, most clubs & societies had a night down the pub or a pub crawl during fresher's week, but that was it. There was certainly nothing like this going on. Mind you I am an old fart who left uni over 10 years ago.
