Hi CutiePie2000,
thanks for the info.
I found out some more about specific fraternities in Chicago that might be interesting for the historically interested community
There seem to have been at least three fraternities of this kind in Chicago:
1. "STEUBENSIA", a german fencing fraternity (Burschenschaft) ; founded 26.08.1926; colors white-red-gold; black hat
2. "FRAT. LIVONICA RIGA"; founded after 1945; colors blue-purple-gold
3. "TALAVIJA RIGA"; after. 1945; white-green-gold
By the way - nice that you have got an impression of Heidelberg fraternities - they have marvellous houses. Mine, however is non-fencing/duelling
