Sri-Lankan
Ayubowan! Welcome to the Sri Lankan Society, one of the most prestigious and successful societies at Imperial (if we do say so ourselves!).
We were founded ten years ago with the aim of introducing Imperial to our vibrant culture and a giving Sri Lankans in the university, overseas or British, a chance to meet on another. Our flagship event is Sapphire, an annual dinner dance, which attracted 1000 people last year, with The Gypsies (the most popular band in Sri Lankan history! Fact.), providing the entertainment and raising almost £3000 for charities in Sri Lanka.
The society has grown tremendously during the last decade and we’re looking for this year’s freshers to make it even bigger than before. So freshers, if you see a fat brown man in a Sri Lanka cricket top asking you to join our society, it’s probably me.
Find us at the Freshers’ Fair in the Great Hall in the Sherfield Building, where you’ll get to meet the whole committee and ask any questions you have. It’ll be easy, just follow the massive Sri Lankan flag, baila blasting out, and vast amounts of samosas and patties to shamelessly bribe you with. We look forward to seeing you all and hope you’ll join!
