Students will often say that no-one is forced to do anything they don’t want, but pressure rarely works that way. “We know that first-year students have such a strong need to fit in and belong, that it’s very easy for them to end up participating in activities which might conflict with their normal values. There are concerns about students potentially being forced to take part in degrading rituals. “Initiation rituals in general, are very problematic, but those which involve sexual contact are completely unacceptable and have the potential to become unlawful, especially if a student is ever pressured, forced or coerced into participating.” Sharna Bremner, the director of End Rape On Campus Australia, is particularly concerned about vulnerability of junior students. The returning student essentially treats their fresher like sh*t who internalises it all as a rite of passage: we treat you like sh*t and next year you get to treat someone else like sh*t. We take any reports of inappropriate behaviour very seriously.”įormer student Andrew* said: “The way that it operated with Lads’ Weekend is that a fresher would be assigned to a returning student and before they left the freshers would be given hair cuts.

Welcome to “Lads’ Weekend” - an annual initiation weekend for male college students from Evatt House at the University of Newcastle.
Some of the men standing up have devised a kind of genital drinking cup: by pulling the skin of their pubic hair region forwards, they have formed a pouch of skin from which the kneeling student can directly suckle the alcohol from. Other men lean in and slurp the amber ale. One student physically recoils after a member of the crowd tries to push his head onto the exposed penis. Next, a student in the crowd will open a beer and begin pouring it down the base of the standing man’s penis into the mouth of the kneeling student.
Slowly each of the kneeling men will lean forward placing his lips tentatively against the base of the standing man’s penis. A crowd of students - all male - gather around to watch the initiation ritual about to take place. In front of them stand college men, their flies unzipped. © 2022 The Cincinnati Bengals.THE university college students are kneeling in the dirt.
