Names of Fraternitys / Sororitys
Hey,
Do the Greek letters in the names of Fraternitys / Sororitys have any historical meaning or do they just sound good? Why do you have Greek names, I don't know any historical relationship between the US and Greece?
As already wrote in this threat most fraternitys in Germany are named after geographical areas and sororitys after godesses.
My fraternity is a small exception. We are named "Kristall" (crystal) to honor Professor Hermann Borchert who taught mineralogy when we were founded in 1949. Our full name is "Akademische Vereinigung Kristall zu Clausthal im Schwarzburgbund"
Thank you for your answers,
Max Kr!x
