Studying in Berlin: Rich in tradition versus new wind
What's more your thing? When choosing the right student association for studying in Berlin, you have to rely entirely on your gut feeling. To help you find the right club, we have put together a small selection for you:
Rich in tradition: Arminia fraternity
The Arminia fraternity was founded in 1818, making it one of the oldest student associations in Berlin. Clearly, anyone who has so much history to offer also has to maintain old traditions and therefore the association only consists of male members.
But don't worry, if you're a bit of a scaredy-cat despite your love of tradition, you can still feel at home here, because hitting is optional.
Tough guys: Corps Marchia Berlin
Hit? What is that? It's only for the really tough guys and they're in the Corps Marchia Berlin . Beating is fencing with sharp weapons and is mandatory for this bunch of wild students in Berlin.
So if you want to be one of the guys with a scar, you should take a look here. However, girls have to stand outside panting in admiration. Only the male part of the Berlin student group meets here.
Pure female power: VBSt Lysistrata
It wasn't until 1985 that the students in Berlin got tired of having to stop at the gates of the tough guys and they founded their own student association. By the way, the ladies also have a fraternity house and with more than 30 years of existence, the student group from Berlin is one of the most traditional ladies' fraternities in Germany.
Mixed vegetables - Salingia fraternity
At the turn of the century, the Salingia fraternity was founded and since studying in Berlin is much more fun when boys and girls get up to mischief together, this association clearly decided to have male and female members.
This is a very understandable decision, because let's be honest, the boys can't live without female support and who's going to carry all the heavy crates of drinks when the next party starts and there's no man in sight? So if you also value a mixed circle of friends when studying in Berlin, take a look at the mixed vegetables of the Berlin fraternity Salingia.
Passion connects
That's exactly what the Academic Sailing Association , Academic-Music Association Berlin and Bund Arkona thought for gardeners . Actually, that's exactly how it should be that you find people with whom you can have a pleasant time while studying in Berlin .
There are many other student associations , there is sure to be the right one for you! And who doesn't want to wear such a cool clunker on their finger and keep secret secrets?!
