Several initiation activities of the Université de Sherbrooke biology department took place on campus.
Hazing activities involving animal urine, incitements to undress in public and other forms of humiliation also occurred in 2019, according to Radio-Canada sources who described those actions as "traditions."The following article contains graphic descriptions of degrading treatment.
Alexandre, a student who has been given a pseudonym, compared his second day at the university to a "military boot camp." Some initiation activities were described as a boot camp. Here, students had to imitate trout that find themselves out of water. In a video obtained by Radio-Canada, initiators are seen walking on participants.
"After the sort of military camp, they put us back on our knees, in rows," she said. "They started spraying us with water guns. We quickly realized that they were filled with urine from a mare in heat."Several games were organized at Jacques-Cartier Park, but one activity in particular took students by surprise.
Her participation earned her an "X" drawn on her face — a mark to identify the most "resourceful" among new students, which the hazers said was worth its weight in gold. Those who passed previous tests were invited to take another one the next day. While the sun was barely up, participants were allegedly encouraged to drink large quantities of alcohol on campus, according to our sources.Jocelyne Faucher, vice-rector and secretary general of Université de Sherbrooke, said the university has launched an investigation into the allegations.
