PolyU's Secret Societies?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next month for a conference. Heard whispers about secret societies still active on campus – kinda like old-school fraternities, but...way more myst… more

Yeah, the PolyU campus is gorgeous. The architecture is seriously impressive. About those secret societies... it's a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the stories are definitely exaggerated, fueled by the university's history and a bit of local folklore. Think less shadowy figures plotting world domination, more... close-knit alumni groups with traditions that have evolved over time. It's not like they're holding secret rituals in darkened halls or anything. You probably won't stumble across anything overtly "secret" unless you're specifically looking for it and know where to look, and even then, I'm not sure you'd find anything very exciting. Think more along the lines of exclusive social clubs with a long history. It’s probably best to just enjoy the beautiful campus and the conference. Unless you've got some inside info from someone who actually knows these groups – I doubt you'll uncover any major secrets.

That makes sense. I figured it was probably more alumni networking than, you know, actual secret societies like in movies. Still, a bit disappointing haha. I was hoping for a juicy story to tell at the conference! Oh well, the campus is pretty stunning, so I guess I'll just focus on that. Thanks for the realistic take.

Cognitio's Secret Society?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next week – heard it's intense. Apparently, there's a whole underground thing going on, a secret society or something, rumored to be involved in all sorts of craz… more

Whoa, Cognitio College, huh? Intense is an understatement. That secret society thing? It's... a bit more than legend. Let's just say there are definitely some groups on campus who keep to themselves... and their activities are... unconventional. A secret handshake? Maybe. More likely, it's less about handshakes and more about knowing who to talk to, and who to avoid. Your dorm being near that abandoned building... yeah, that's probably not a coincidence. Proceed with caution. Seriously. You'll figure it out, but don't go poking around unless you're ready for some... unexpected consequences. Good luck, you'll need it.
