The University of Sydney has launched an investigation into students at one of its oldest colleges after a journal was distributed that labelled female college students as "hoes" and "bitches" while shaming women who had allegedly slept with the most men.

The publication, produced by residents of the University of Sydney's Wesley College, devotes a page to "The RackWeb," a map that identifies sexual relationships between different students at the 99-year-old college.

"[First year university students] have a willingness to put out for their seniors and for enabling all the hook-ups a sleazy, pussy-hungry adolescent could dream of," the journal states.

"We might be sexist, but you lovely bitches and hoes should know we're trying to correct this."
