Hazing, also known as ragging, the ritualistic humiliation of new students in order to join a society is still at large at Cambridge. College drinking societies force and coerce students who want to join the society into performing a series of humiliating acts before being allowed to join the society.
Cambridge drinking societies are all male or all female societies that meet up with other drinking societies on a regular basis in order to attend elitist black tie "formal hall" dinners and drink excessive amounts of alcohol. They are notorious for binge drinking, trashing dining halls as well as their disturbing initiation ceremonies.
Most recently, a drinking society run by a third year maths student called Stuart Alan Cork (also known as "Stu Cork") allegedly forced initiates into wearing pink tights stuffed with Brussels sprouts, slippers filled with dog-food and verruca socks filled with tuna and mayonnaise. Initiates were allegedly forced to then swim across an ice cold river and finally permanently scarred by members of the drinking society with a red hot piece of metal before being allowed to join the society.

Stuart Alan Cork, the president of the drinking society in question (aka "Stu Cork" born 11/1988) attended the Therfield School in Leatherhead, Surrey, England and lives in the upper class Surrey area in southern England outside of Cambridge term time. He received a Class 2.2 in his first year Cambridge maths exams and a Class 2.1 in his second year.

ReplyDeleteand a pretty good one
ReplyDeleteThis is bizarre?! Weren't most of Cambridge in drinking societies? Why has this person created a whole blog (including a two article back story) to try to incriminate Stu? I was at the same college as Corky - great squash player.
ReplyDeleteLove the depth of research - "Stuart a.k.a Stu"
ReplyDeleteWait Stu played squash, that's so cool. He was an awesome maths teacher, the best I ever had!
