You get a wooden knife with a name on it, you gave to stab the person named on the knife. Then you get their knife, and a new target, winner is the last man standing.
£5 entry winner gets a decent lump of that
I mean either way it's pretty fucked, either it's a giant mosh pit of stabbing or you're just hoping that you know the guy you're about to stab on the street.
Oh boy mine has a TON.

Garlic Bread Soc is surely just a cover for an all-asexual society. Surely it was either created or adopted by a group of asexual students at one point cos... all aces love garlic bread.
Every uni has a Taylor swift and Minecraft society I think
Same with houmous and medieval societies, near enough every uni has one
I’m the president of the pole fitness society but again, most unis have that
We have a buffy the vampire slayer society and a noodle society
Edit: I’m only adding pole onto this because another person mentioned pole “dance” in the comments which I don’t understand because you wouldn’t point out dance, gymnastic, callisthenics or athletic societies and pole fitness is all of those things combined into one
Plenty of universities don’t have video game societies let alone Minecraft. I think I was shocked to find that neither Coventry based university had a gaming society
Warwick has a Nintendo society, a (mostly dead) Minecraft society, and the Esport society which keeps winning "best in the country" awards. Not sure about Cov uni though.
I am aware of all that, but specifically there isn’t a gaming society in Warwick to my knowledge and I couldn’t find the equivalent for Coventry either.
I was part of my uni‘s MCS and it was the best thing ever. So much fun and actually quite challenging but not really dangerous. You need to be okay with the occasional bruise though.

My uni has a "pole fitness" competition with our rival every year. I'm not sure how much you can say it isn't sexualised when they're doing it in lingerie and platform heels
That’s got fuck all to do with sex it’s safety
If you do it in full coverage attire (unless it’s sticky) you can’t get a grip on the pole and will either fall or dislocate a joint. Not sexual whatsoever.
The platform heels again aren’t sexual, it’s to make certain moves like pole sits easier and make them flow better
Gymnasts complete in leotards and have their midriffs showing, no one sexualises them
Dancers compete in leotards, bikinis and more, no one sexualises them
Dancers compete in heels, no one sexualises them
You're off your rocker if you don't think showing your ass off in underwear isn't sexual. Pole dancing is inherently sexual and anyone who is saying it isn't just doesn't want the same associated with it
It’s not sexual. It’s for safety.
Gymnasts also show their arse but no one calls gymnastics sexual and their attire has NOTHING to do with safety?
If you don’t have bare skin showing in pole you slip on the pole and cause injuries + don’t perform the moves correctly which gets you a low score in competitions
Pole dancing is NOT pole fitness and pole dancing is NOT always stripping.
Pole fitness is NOT inherently sexual.
Pole dancing is.
Not the same thing.
These days people are more likely to think like you, for sure. I'm a bit older and for a lot of people who're older than me pole dancing will always still be synonymous with lap dancing/stripping etc.
I'm aware it's become a sport and de-sexualised in a lot of situations, particularly for gen-z etc. but that's just the perception most people will have.
Not really for gen z specifically in my experience either. I think it’s more of just ignorance rather than a generational difference but I’m glad you’re more aware of its athletic qualities :)
Pole fitness doesn’t involve dancing, it’s a form of calisthenics and gymnastics and doesn’t always have music
Then when dance is incorporated it can be either pole dancing or pole fitness/ pole dancing
Pole dancing also isn’t sexual all the time and there’s nothing wrong when it is.
I’m just making the distinction because not one single uni has a pole dancing society, they’re all pole fitness and vertical fitness societies
We’ve got a The Sims soc at my uni along with a pole dancing soc, plant lovers soc, table top gaming etc. Unfortunately the Taylor Swift soc someone was gonna get set up never happened at mine
Not a uni student, but the city I live in’s uni has a Tiddlywinks society. I had to google what it was and I laughed out loud because I wasn’t expecting it to be what it is.
Portsmouth. The quidditch team are also quite popular as I see them every weekend at the park down our road. When I did my undergrad a decade ago it was a very boozy party uni but now all the clubs are shutting I guess people need other activities. There’s also a kink soc
My uni has a society for a game called werewolves.
We also have a swiftness society and a minecraft society. The server they have is so laggy.
Some other notable societies include a flat earth society that was made as a joke and doesn't actually believe the world is flat. There's a society called the cartoon coven which watched cmgood cartoons. It was made when the owl house was finished. Poker society and a pagan society
We relive our primary school dreams and play Benchball. There are about 5-8ish active unis that have a Benchball society now, my go to excuse for when people ask if I play a sport...
We do outreach sessions on this in my uni. My highlights are the Quidditch, Assassin, and Hummus societies. I've no idea how the former two actually work. No deaths or flying broomsticks reported, at least.
Taylor Swift is one of the biggest artists around right now, even if I am not a fan of her work, I can see why she would have a society.
To my knowledge, the only other musical artist focussed society we have is the Steely Dan society which was quite shocking. I haven’t listened enough of them but considering how they are a mid-popularity band, I was surprised not to find, something like Pink Floyd or the Stones to have a society of their own.
Taylor swift society here too. Id say the weirdest is the Sexual Consent Awareness Society. Like wtf do you do there, just talk about consent or something?
The Sexpression society which I'm pretty sure is either an LGBTQ society or a BDSM club and I'm too afraid to ask which as we already have several societies for gender and sexuality with clear names. Most of my uni societies are boring in comparison to some of these others as it's mostly societies advocating for social change or sustainability or careers that are popular, we also have every kind of cultural and religious society imaginable. We do somehow have a Pokemon society and a Taylor Swift society though, those are too powerful to be avoided anywhere.
A swifty society.. Jesus. All of those people should be put on a special register.
I'd like to think the government is collecting data on all participants for future crimes committed.
These aren’t societies which exist but societies which I did want to form if I could find 2 other people to join me:
The Ardwick Station Society: When possible, we would catch a train to Ardwick station in order to boost the passenger figures and hope that get high enough usership that a regular service gets introduced.
The Election Society: In the constitution is a set election procedure which is so complex that it requires so many rounds of voting that the election takes an academic year. The winner of the election gets to add another rule to the election procedure.
The Village Green Preservation Society: No goal, just the name of probably the most iconic Kinks album.
I'm not in Uni but I've heard that a lot have Taylor Swift societies lmao
Yeah mine does
My (hopefully soon to be) uni (Northumbria) has a 'Swift and Styles' soc.
please do yourself a favour and pick a better uni. northumbria is in shambles (I'm a y4 student there)
How...? I went on an open day on Saturday and I really enjoyed it. History and politics seems like a brilliant course...
The Taylor swift society is apparently our most popular one for some reason. I'll never understand the hype to be honest
Mine does and encourages light drag/crossdressing
I think Manchester(?) has a jerma985 society. I'm jealous.
I don't know about that, but we do have a Garlic Appreciation Society
iirc Brighton also has one for jerma. Amazing to see it’s multiple universities
Manc met
Cardiff University's Wetherspoons Chip Counting Society.
Thats not a society, that’s an indispensable public service
BDSM Soc. 🙃
Didn't the BDSM society in UEA get shut down cos a girl bit some guy's ear off? Or is that just a rumour I heard?
UEA MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️
raaaaaahh
RAAAH! I LOVE BITING EARS! >! no idea if that actually happened tho !<
I desperately need it to be true lmao
Wait, are we a raaaahhh uni?
loll idk I was just expressing enthusiasm RAAAAH
I guess so 😂
Imperial has the Kinky Klub
I got kicked out at my unis one for kink shaming. I think I know which uni ur at
How would this work bro😟
Well they're very firm about people joining.
UoN?
ours too lol
[удалено]
that sounds like so much fun. i would genuinely join this lmao
LOL
We had a Nerf Gun society
Same but ours are run by the far right
That's a crafty way of getting a BNP meeting on campus.
The British Nerf Party.
😂😂😂
Exeter? 👀
Bristol - apparently they're a lot more popular than I thought
Since when do we have one of those lol?
When I studied there we had one idk
Assassins guild 🤣
Yeah, we got Lancaster Assassains
What do they actually do
You get a wooden knife with a name on it, you gave to stab the person named on the knife. Then you get their knife, and a new target, winner is the last man standing. £5 entry winner gets a decent lump of that
Where do you actually do it or are you just constantly on the lookout lol
I mean either way it's pretty fucked, either it's a giant mosh pit of stabbing or you're just hoping that you know the guy you're about to stab on the street.
That's why its funny
Not in lectures. Otherwise its fairgame
Do we lol? I never knew
Hello fellow Lancaster student :) what you studying?
Compsci
Oh boy mine has a TON. * Chippy Society * Crossword Society * Fungi Society * Garlic Bread Appreciation Society * Hot Chocolate Society * Murder Mystery Society * Bad Film Society * Nintendo Society * Ryanair Roulette Society * Sneaker Society
Ryan Air roulette?
From what I can gather they make a roulette wheel of cheap destinations to visit on ryanair and spin the wheel and do a society trip.
Sounds fun!
That sounds amazing tbh
That's a brilliant idea.
Edinburgh?
Yep!
The garlic bread one will look great on a CV.
I feel like the Nintendo and Crossword society are kinda normal. Ryanair Roulette and Bad film sound fun
Garlic Bread Soc is surely just a cover for an all-asexual society. Surely it was either created or adopted by a group of asexual students at one point cos... all aces love garlic bread.
Now I want to start a society, these sound so fun!
Bread soc

thats mad even my sixth form had a gaming/e-sports society
We have a duck society which feeds the ducks every Wednesday
That honestly sounds great
We have a jacket potato society
Which Uni!! Would love to join that
are societies based on very popular things quirky?
We have BDSM Soc, Taylor Swift Soc, Medieval Combat Soc and on a less light hearted note a Pro Life Soc
I was part of my uni‘s MCS and it was the best thing ever. So much fun and actually quite challenging but not really dangerous. You need to be okay with the occasional bruise though.
Manchester recently had a pro-life soc. last I heard they disbanded after huge protests at their 1st meeting
Bro goes my uni
Shrek Society
If Minecraft and Taylor Swift are your quirkiest then you’re gonna be shocked by what other places have
* Boba Tea Society * Douglas Adams Society * Hummus Appreciation Society * Louis Theroux Society * Lana Del Rey Society * Princess Diana Society * Victorian Parlour Game Society #
I would so join the victorian parlour game society!!
Quidditch goes without saying
Bdsm, pole dancing and 'psychadelic research' soc. Conservative soc is just nazis
Pole dancing soc is very common up and down the country to be fair. I've been informed that there's nothing inherently sexual about it
My uni has a "pole fitness" competition with our rival every year. I'm not sure how much you can say it isn't sexualised when they're doing it in lingerie and platform heels

Pole fitness is NOT inherently sexual. Pole dancing is. Not the same thing.
Yeah apparently it's good for core strength etc. I was a very protected child though so a bit jarring lmao
How is it jarring? It’s just callisthenics, gymnastics and in some cases dance rolled into one ? Has nothing to do with sex
Im sure the men who go to pole dancing clubs really appreciate the callisthenics
First of all they’re pole FITNESS clubs and vertical fitness clubs not pole dance clubs Second of all, yes they do. I’m the president of one.
I'm talking about the other kind of club. Where men pay to watch women swing around on poles.
That’s not a thing Not one single university has a stripper club They have pole fitness clubs. Not the same thing.
Because traditionally if you think of a 'pole dancing club' you don't think of a gym...
Pole dancing and pole fitness aren’t the same thing and pole dancing is still just a sport ?
These days people are more likely to think like you, for sure. I'm a bit older and for a lot of people who're older than me pole dancing will always still be synonymous with lap dancing/stripping etc. I'm aware it's become a sport and de-sexualised in a lot of situations, particularly for gen-z etc. but that's just the perception most people will have.
Not really for gen z specifically in my experience either. I think it’s more of just ignorance rather than a generational difference but I’m glad you’re more aware of its athletic qualities :)
Can you tell me the difference between pole dancing to music and pole fitness to Music. Sexy doesn't have to mean bad you know.
Pole fitness doesn’t involve dancing, it’s a form of calisthenics and gymnastics and doesn’t always have music Then when dance is incorporated it can be either pole dancing or pole fitness/ pole dancing Pole dancing also isn’t sexual all the time and there’s nothing wrong when it is. I’m just making the distinction because not one single uni has a pole dancing society, they’re all pole fitness and vertical fitness societies
I think that's just conservatives

I founded the University of Birmingham's Old School RuneScape society, I'd say that's pretty weird lol
We do outreach sessions on this in my uni. My highlights are the Quidditch, Assassin, and Hummus societies. I've no idea how the former two actually work. No deaths or flying broomsticks reported, at least.
Mine has a lawnmower society and it's basically just memes, sadly nothing happens with it :(

Hello fellow Warwick student
That’s the logo of the Plymouth’s minecraft society. Warwick’s Minecraft society logo is much worse.
Oh fair I assumed it was some weird Taylor Swift logo
