Cardiff UniversityThe Federation of Students (SU) has suspended the men’s Crievers’ Association for an indefinite period after the allegations of “disgusting” starter rituals.
The suspension is associated with cases that were alleged to have taken sports on social social, where fresh people were called worthless and one student was said to have their head “pushed” to the toilet bowl.
Other claims include pressure from students to eat raw onions and alcohol.
Education is no longer held and there has been an argument that red and yellow blazers, which are also forming the uniform of society, are also forbidden. Society has said that the allegations are horrible and explores them, but it still has to find evidence of the truth.
SU has since confirmed to the Cardiff tab that society has been suspended during the study and that it does not tolerate such behavior.
As a result of the following reports, the allegations came from other societies that also held social abuse the same night.
A student at the University of Cardiff told the Cardiff tab, which the alleged first -year recruitment of the alleged activities was allowed to return by members of society, who were reported to be degrading and “bullying” cases. Another eyewitness described it “like one of the torture of human torture”.
Outside the event, one eyewitness, FIN*, claimed that the first few years were forced to eat raw onions and get on their knees in cricket whites without shoes. FIN confirmed that the floor was “soaking wet and that wrap”, and new members “barefoot” and “had to put wet socks in their mouths”.
In addition, it was announced that older students also threw the pins.
Members of society claimed to have put pressure on first -year students down cider and beer as they “gagging” and threw. This was thought to be a mixture of raw onion and alcohol.
Returning members have been charged with dismantling comments to new recruiters, such as “you are worthless”, “fat” and “you are a piece of sh*t” because they were claimed to pay for drinking to older students.
In Misfits, another student, Billie*, claimed that when the first year threw the toilet, an older member of the club came in and “pushed” his head into the toilet bowl. Billie told me Cardiff Tab: “One of the boys was sick and one in the other society pushed his head down (toilet bowl) and liked it.”
Misfits told Cardiff tab that it would never tolerate bullying at its venue, and was not aware of this behavior because staff or students have not reported it.

The University of Cardiff’s spokesman said the university accepts the zero tolerance approach to the launch and is closely cooperating with the Union to investigate the requirements.
Other students who were also in Misfits at night said that the members “didn’t even talk to the girls” and they cried if they did.
Fin said, “One of my friends was in the way of a friend. He said,” Sorry, “and then he had to take his shoes and socks off and then put his socks in his mouth.” The timer was then reported for 10 minutes.
“They didn’t enjoy it, and apparently part of being society means that you have to do things you wouldn’t usually do, but it was a little too far. As the floor soaked wet and it escalated.
“They had to put wet socks in their mouths, and they couldn’t even talk to the girls, and if they did, they were shouted.”
When talking about supposed events, Fin said the behavior was “really weird”. He went on, “Some of the guys in the cricket seemed quite uncomfortable, like drinking drinks.
After the social ending, witnesses and other Cardiff UNI students announced on the street outside the venue alongside onions, socks and sick people.
Another student at Cardiff University, Alex*, said he had met a group of men from the cricket association on Snow Sports on Social Social Social Wednesday (October 8), who spoke that they were “very disappointed” for not being social or using blazers.
Alex added that members of society are not “allowed to use their blazers at” Chepstow competition last Sunday.
The student described the alleged social activities on October 1 as “typical disgust” and “lowkey bullying”, and it seems that social should not have happened in public space.

Despite the alleged cases, FIN explained that he does not believe that SU should deny society, but called its behavior “unnecessary”. He told Cardiff Tab: “On the other hand, I don’t think they deserve completely forbidden and not even be allowed to train. But hopefully they learn from this and understand that behavior is just unnecessary.”
A spokesman for the Men’s CrICker Club said, “We are horrified and shocked by these claims and work closely with the Student Union to get to the bottom of these claims.
“These claims do not represent the ethics of the CrICket Club, and every person who is stated to have committed these claims is punished accordingly.
“The club also wants to emphasize that these are claims and have not yet found evidence that they are true.”
Misfits said, “We are not aware of behavior, such as” for coercion of first -year head from abuse and rinsing it for about 10 seconds “and we will not tolerate such behavior in any way.
“This was not attached to the information during the day, nor the behavior or questions reported by customers or staff during the day.
“The well -being of customers and staff members is a huge focus for us, and we spend a lot of time as a team, making sure people are safe and careful so they can enjoy the night in a safe way.
“We believe in all my heart in inclusion and mostly branded abuse because we did not want anyone to know in place and wanted the customer to know that everyone is welcome.
“We never allow any types of bullying at the scene.
“We have a long -term relationship with the Cardiff University Men’s Criminal Club, and we have only been friendly and respectfully our staff and the venue until now.”
The Cardiff Student Union spokesman said: “We are aware of the concerns presented by the behavior of the members of the Men’s CrICue Club and we work closely with the Committee to review the claims. The club’s activities have been suspended during research.
“The Cardiff Students’ Association does not tolerate any kind of scary or derogatory behavior. We are constantly waiting for the values of all student clubs and societies to defend respect and inclusion.
“Cardiff Students’ Union supports hundreds of student group leaders every year who make a positive contribution to university life through safe, inclusive and interesting activities. If all activities fall below the expected standards, we will take such things seriously and deal with them in accordance with our disciplinary procedure.”
A spokesman at the University of Cardiff said he would condemn the alleged behavior and encourage students to report and inform the university with all information.
The spokesman continued: “We have a zero -tolerance -like approach to” initiatives “. This kind of behavior is not tolerated. We work closely with the Student Union to explore and take appropriate action to be involved.”
The university also guided students to an article sent at the beginning of the school year, which outlines its approach to the start.
It reads: “These activities are inappropriate, dangerous and broken expectations of students who require all students to treat each other dignified and respectfully. As a student at Cardiff, you are a university representative, both on top of and outside the campus.
“Student Union and/or University Disciplinary Procedure, which organizes, facilitates or allows for initiative.
“As a member of the university community, you are expected to work in accordance with the university’s operational and behavioral requirements.
“As is used in the students’ behavioral procedure, you must use in a way that respects all university community, including members of staff and other students. Expectations of your behavior are concerned anywhere, but are particularly important in the local community around Cardiff when you are committed to your club or society.
“The organization or participation of initiatives is at odds with the expectations of students ‘behavior and are subject to actions for students’ behavioral proceedings.”
