[Elephant Walk]

Haha, I mean, I'm pretty sure I used the simplest German possible.

Thanks,

we have houses too, our pledges don't wear all colors of our fraternity, but only to.

White fraternities generally do not wear the colors of the fraternity (consciously, I suppose), but black fraternities have more of a tendency to.

they stay pledge one term and have to do all the work, the other don't want to do. And they have to fence once, otherways they cannot leave their pledge status.

In many fraternities, they do most of the work, no one wants to do. It is to achieve unity (einheit). Cleaning the house, all that sort of thing. We don't have any fencing, but the pledges in many houses go through trials by fire of some sort, that they must complete.

How is the "alcohol" mentality in the greek fraternities? We have in germany the tradition to drink beer versus other fraternities and we also drink 2 liter glasses in in one way. It would be interesting to know how the way in greek fraternities is. Anyway I know, that the administration does not allow to consume alcohol under 21.

We don't compete against other fraternities, in general. Although a good beer pong game always might start some competition.

The administration (and government) does not allow alcohol under 21. That does not mean that no one drinks under the age of 21. Most fraternity members are under 21 (generally speaking) yet someone is always drinking. Even at 2 oclock in the afternoon.
