What Happens on Tour (Shouldn’t) Stay on Tour

Every Easter break, thousands of students across the UK make the journey to Croatia for a week-long holiday called ‘tour’, on behalf of their university sports teams. But over the years what happens on this ominous European excursion has become an open secret among Sussex sporting societies. You know the saying: “What happens on tour stays on tour.”

But someone has to say something – and it follows these simple lines: alcohol, partying, and hazing, on a repeated loop, for a week.

Hazing is one of our campus’s biggest unkept secrets.

Hazing is one of our campus’s biggest unkept secrets; many remember the events of tour 2023 which led to a Sussex team facing a lawsuit for hazing. I was not surprised to see this particular team was back to its top hazing form in 2024. Over the weekend, I saw H and R team freshers from Sussex publicly humiliated and socially tortured in front of our entire hotel. And no one batted an eyelid.

Many freshers had their heads forcibly shaved, arriving in Croatia with only patches of hair left as if they had been attacked by animals. Men (although not from Sussex from what I could tell) were walked on their hands and knees with a dog collar and leash around the pool. I witnessed Sussex freshers being forced to stay in the ice-cold pool despite shaking and pleading to get out; young men on the H team with yoghurt dumped over their heads at breakfast and dinner, no time of day sacred – forced to climb on tables of people eating, sing, rap, entertain a crowd that felt nothing but sorry for them. I heard rumours of urination on members and in their mouths, lewd sex games at pre-drinks which borderline an orgy. And this is only the tip of the tour iceberg; there are things so filthy I cannot possibly write them in The Badger .

Naked humiliation rituals were common, with men running and crawling around with no clothes on at any given time. At one point, naked H team members were running around on the beach and swimming lengths, not stopping even when local Croatian children were pointing and watching. I Love Tour staff saw this unfolding, and instead of stopping the hazing altogether, the men were made to put on underwear instead. Many other students at different universities were horrified by Sussex’s antics. It is alleged that the H team received multiple complaints from the hotel about the treatment of their freshers from other university students. It questions why Sussex is so cruel when away from prying eyes – and what happens behind closed doors.

Where our Sussex sports teams are lacking in winning leagues, they make up for in torturing their freshers on tour.

It quickly became evident to me that where our Sussex sports teams are lacking in winning leagues, they make up for in torturing their freshers on tour. This is a gentle suggestion that they put this hazing energy and enthusiasm into their sport. Is being part of these teams (you’re not exactly Olympians, boys, so not a brag if we’re being honest) worth the stress and humiliation of hazing?

I heard rumours of R boys not being allowed to drink water, shower, or change outfits throughout the week, no matter the heat. The singular outfit the R team were seen in included t-shirts with racist and offensive jokes about the wearer on the back.

Ironically, the company running this trip, I Love Tour , has ‘Essential Life Experience’ as their slogan – what exactly is essential about this?

Remember folks, what happens on tour stays on tour. To anyone considering attending next year, make sure your team respects you as a person before putting down that first deposit. There is a fine line between being a ‘tour fresher’ and participating in the light-hearted fresher antics, compared to what I witnessed from the H and R teams. This article is not to shame and embarrass the men who were forced to complete these challenges throughout the week. If anything, my sympathy for them was so strong I wrote this article, despite the backlash I might receive.

It’s clear that change and action are needed immediately.

I address this final closing to Ardi, our recently elected Sports, Societies and Events Officer: What are you going to do about this? Your campaign focused almost entirely on sports societies and wanting to make better changes for our campus. Well, it’s clear that change and action are needed immediately. This article has highlighted the beginning and those you need to focus on. Act now.

What the sigma

This article is purely “rage bait”, unfounded, opinionated and comprised entirely of rumour and guesses. The badger should be ashamed to have even posted such a poorly written, tabloid esc article which completely lacks in style and substance. This piece was written solely to garner a reaction from it’s already poor readership. The badger has sacrificed true journalism for what they consider to be an engaging exposé, and have failed miserably, instead producing a shoddy gossip column. The author who has remained anonymous for this should be ashamed of themselves.

This article is ultimately just a load of rubbish. It was claimed there was photographic proof which there isnt and clearly it was meant to be an informative article but it is just clickbaiting. Through a gigantic web of rumours and lies. I also find the article to be quite sexist as all of the allegations are only towards boys when I had first hand account of what one of your beloved predominantly female society’s got up to. In the future maybe focus more on the facts before trying to circulate evidently false rumours about two of our own sports teams.

This is so not sigma, beta moment

I heard LC, a member of the R team had a dog collar on and was walked on a leash around the pool everyday.

College tour season is about to kick off. Here are 10 tips from college tour guides to have a successful campus visit.

• As spring starts, colleges around the country welcome parents and students to campus for tours. 
• College tour guides want people to arrive on time, ask the right questions, and have fun.
• They also recommend students take the tour on their own, without their parents.

Spring break is right around the corner, and for many high school students and their parents, that means many will be hitting the road to tour colleges around the country.

To make the most of your visit, Business Insider spoke with college students and tour guides. They know the campuses like the back of their hands, and they know how to walk backward.

Here are the dos and don'ts of college tours from student guides.

1. Get there with no time to spare, but don't be late

You won't get points for arriving early, so try to arrive on time. But if you do happen to arrive late , there's no need to worry.

"If something comes up and you are late, ask your guide what you missed once the tour finishes," Skyler Kawecki-Muonio, a senior at Sarah Lawrence College, told BI. "They will happily fill you in."

2. Dress to impress, but don't sacrifice comfort

It's important to look nice, but you don't have to don a jacket and tie. Tour-goers should put their best foot forward with a sturdy pair of walking shoes , and don't forget to dress for the weather.

"At Fairleigh Dickinson, tours go out rain or shine, so make sure to wear clothes that will keep you warm," Emily Bone, class of '25, said.

3. Don't forget to sign in, but skip the CV

Most schools have a check-in desk where you'll receive a campus map and other literature. But don't bother furnishing schools with your portfolio.

"Students can leave their resumes at home," Henry Millar, a senior at William & Mary, said. "Tour guides generally do not have any sway in the admissions process whatsoever, so feel free to save the paper."

4. Pay attention on the tour, but do it solo if possible

Some schools offer the option of letting parents and kids take separate tours, which has advantages.

"Get excited about your child's potential future in college, but give them some space to see what they think of that school on their own," Nathan Weisbrod, a junior at Wesleyan University, told BI.

Students can comfortably ask questions without a parent present and compare notes afterward.

5. Ask all your questions, but avoid personal interrogations

This is the time to inquire about any aspect of campus life , and don't feel shy about speaking up.

"Tour guides love getting questions because it allows us to cater the tour, especially in small groups, toward the needs and interests of the families on that specific tour," Halle Spataro, class of '24 at Bucknell University, said.

But some topics are off-limits, so don't ask your tour guide about their SAT/ACT scores or what they wrote about in their essay.

6. Speak up, but let the student take the lead

Parents may be tempted to raise their hand again and again, but this tour is about the student, so there should be space to let them shine.

"Try to take the backseat — or the passenger seat — but refrain from driving all of your child's interactions," Julian Jacklin, class of '25 at Reed College, said. "Students who feel they can own that experience usually ask the most questions and engage with the tour more."

7. Say thanks, but don't leave with questions unanswered

Maybe your guide didn't hear you, or your kid was reluctant to speak up. You can still get the information you want before leaving.

"There's a lot of information students are getting that day and a lot of excitement with being in a new place, which can make people forget to ask certain questions," Lorenzo Mars, a junior at Pepperdine University, said.

Therefore, get your tour guide's email address so that you can follow up afterward.

8. You may know exactly what school is right, but keep an open mind

Don't be surprised if a city-living kid is suddenly intrigued by a small-town setting.

"The college search and college experience are all about getting to know yourself better and growing, so on a tour, students have to trust themselves and their judgment of the 'world' they've just stepped into," Thomas Elias, class of '24 at University of Scranton, said.

9. Take in as much as you can, but remember to have fun

Sure, preparing for the next four years can be scary and stressful. But it's also an exciting milestone, so enjoy the ride.

"These tours serve as great opportunities to learn more about colleges — along with their cities, culture, and people," Connor Gee, a sophomore at the University of Mississippi, said. "Have fun with it!"

10. Weigh the pros and cons of the school, but don't stop there

Your tour may be over, but you can still learn other ways to immerse yourself in college life .

"See if the school offers additional experiences, like eating in the cafeteria or attending a class," Emily Balda, class of '24 at Seton Hall University, said. "Consider it 'food for thought.'"

Presentations were given by academics from both universities, followed by panel discussions.

On the second day the focus shifted to student exchange, and curriculum development, with introductions led by Professor Farai Jena, and the Head of Department for Economics, Sambit Bhattacharyya.

Sessions focused on undergraduate economics programmes, featuring panel discussions and presentations on each institution’s undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Staff were able to share and gain insights into the other’s student offerings.

Prof Sambit Bhattacharyya, Head of Department for Economics at the Business School said:

"Since the 1990s, Sussex and the University of Warsaw have enjoyed a fruitful partnership, producing notable alumni like Mateusz Szczurek , former Polish Finance Minister and current Associate Director at the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. This visit only stands to strengthen our historic ties and help pave the way for an even brighter future."

This partnership event offered an excellent opportunity for faculty, students, and external businesses to engage with cutting-edge research, explore educational initiatives, and discuss future collaborations between the University of Sussex and the University of Warsaw, encouraging a unique knowledge exchange that will benefit our student population.
