A sexmästeri, klubbmästeri, qlubbmästeri, klubbverk, or festeri is a Swedish university student organisation, usually being a subsection of a student union or other student society responsible for arranging parties and dinners for fellow students. A sexmästeri often also manages the pub owned by the student union, should one exist. The name of the organisation varies depending on the university or student society to which it belongs.
Contents
A klubbmästeri usually consists of the klubbmästare ("club master") which acts as section leader, and usually a complete section board including secretary and other board members (which differs from section to section), and normal members called klubbmästerister ("club masterees"). Depending on the organisation other titles and ranks might be present.
Ranking and titles
A sexmästeri often has a testing period for new members during which they are evaluated, as working and serving alcohol implies a high level of responsibility. The name of this testing period varies; a common term is nolla "zero", originating from the fact that the new member often has not yet completed his first year at the university.
A normal member is called a marskalk ("marshall") and works at parties and pubs (should the section be responsible for operating a pub). A marskalk who has worked a certain amount of semesters may apply to become a vrak ("wreck"). A vrak is entitled to enjoy the privileges of a marskalk, such as discounts and attending parties restricted to members of a sexmästeri, but is not required to work.
It is common for the members of a sexmästeri to own a student boilersuit and to wear this when partying.
