Greetings from Germany
 

Hi,
first i like to apologize in advance for my bad English but as far as you can guess it is not my mothertongue.

My name is Sebastian 29 years old and i stumpled here by coincidence, while googling for similar organisation like our "Studentenverbindungen" in Germany.
And after reading this forum quite passionatly i dedicded to register and take part here. If it's okay that i am not from a American Fraternity ?
Oh by the way i am from a german "Studentenverbindung" called Burschenschaft Hohenheimia which is from Hohenheim university.
I have to say that both fraternities/sororities share many similarities with our "Studenterverbindungen".


Greetings

Willkommen!

Guten abend Sebastian. Wie geht es ihnen?

Mir geht es sehr gut und Ihnen ?
Vielen Dank für die herzliche Begrüßung.
Oh btw. if somebody has questions regarding Germany or "Studentenverbindungen" i will be glad to answer them.
I thought about writing a more or less big topic about "Studentenverbindungen". So maybe the false information that is often shared would be a little bit clarified and maybe help the on or another who is interested in it.

Willkommen, Sebastian!

Perhaps you'd find this thread interesting, and maybe you can add to it.

Thank you MysticCat.
I already read that threat. It is a bit inaccurate and in some aspects just plain wrong.
So i will try my best to write a good sturctured overview about how it works in Germany.
Maybe i will be able to catch the intereset of some people here.

Sebastian Z!

Mir geht es sehr gut.

We would enjoy learning about the studentenverbindungen.

You'll have my interest. I look forward to learning from you. Danke!

Hertzlich willkommen Sebastian!
Wie geht es dir? Ich bin am moment student an der uni in den Niederlanden.
And while I do speak German, I'm horrible at the grammar, so I'll stick to English!

I'm familiar with the German Studentenverbindungen and have visited some. I'm a member (reunist/ alumna) of a Dutch "studentenvereniging". I know how many different kinds of groups the Netherlands has, so I can only imagine how many different groups and kinds of Studentenverbindungen Germany holds. I would be very interested to learn more about them. I knew about the American Greek system growing up, which is what piqued my interest in the Dutch "Greek" experience when I moved here. I would love to hear about your experiences since I have a feeling the Dutch and German student-groups can operate quite similar. Welcome to GreekChat!

Vielen Dank, Tulip86. Ich habe ein bisschen zu wenig geschlafen aber ansonsten gut und dir?
As i pomised here is the beginning of the journey into the world of german fraternities. ;)
Just note i am doing this all by myself and there can be some mistakes but i am very positiv that most of it is right.
