In recent days, a series of posts on social media have made allegations about the behaviour of some Cambridge drinking societies and their members.

Since Friday, the Facebook page Grudgebridge has been posting anonymous allegations, many of which contain reports of bullying, exclusionary behaviour, sexual harassment and abuse. Following the page’s release of a video showing the Trinity Hall Crescents mocking “inclusivity”, the society has announced plans to disband.

Both senior University officials and CUSU denounced drinking society culture yesterday.
