At Medusa, you don't have to fear intense hazing, but we do not shy away from the traditions of the student rugby world. As a first-year member, for example, you are a Jonghe Hond, “a Young Dog” for a year. During this year, you learn the rules of the game and the customs of the student world, but above all, you forge a close bond with the association and your fellow students. Through thick and thin, come rain or shine, you will learn to support each other and embark on wonderful adventures together that you might not be able to imagine right now. It is important to Medusa that all members feel welcome, so absolutely nothing happens that makes people uncomfortable. A special committee is dedicated to welcoming the Jonghe Honden into the association; aptly named, it is the “Jonghe Honden-are-the-lul committee.” Among other things, they organize the introduction period at Medusa and ensure that every Jonghe Hond gets a buddy within the association to help them find their way around. There are also special tournaments throughout the year in which only JH participate, with students from all over the Netherlands. Questions about what it's like to be a Jonghe Hond?
