West Indian
The newly formed West Indian Society was created due to the rising number of students at Imperial College from as far south as Trinidad to the isolated Barbados and the notorious Jamaica. It serves to bring together fellow islanders as well as students interested in the Caribbean way of life.
We strive to promote our unique culture throughout College. While lying on our divine beaches sipping on ‘not less than 75% alcohol’ rum is an integral part of our culture, there is much more. There is the music that extends beyond the legendary Bob Marley, the delicious food such as flying fish, the exotic language which we speak and the diverse beauty of West Indian women.
During this year, the second official year of our existence, we have many events planned on the horizon. There are the monthly Caribbean fetes, West Indian restaurant dinners, all-fours tournaments as well as weekly football ‘sweats’.
So if you hail from one of the exotic Caribbean islands or you have West Indian heritage or if you are enticed by our unique traditions or if you simply want an opportunity to eat unusual foods and drinks then we welcome you to join the Imperial College West Indian Society.
