Various student's corpora. Every university has one. They have a clubhouse which they call a 'society' to where they go for drinking nights and parties.

They have dress codes. For example, the males have to wear dress shoes and the tie of their corresponding corps, and their top button must be unbuttoned. Also no breastpockets. Beyond that they're very similar to American frats.

Pic related is what 'corpsballen' (that's how we call them) look like.

Skadi technically isn't a corps, and those people look like the worst bunch of farmers imaginable.
The guy on the right literally looks like a Warcraft goblin, surely there are better images to represent corpora or their affiliated student rowing clubs.

We call them "circles" (for faculty-aligned fraternities) or "clubs" for other fraternities. Circles are older, bigger, more powerful.

Fraternities organise a very particular type drinking/singing event called a "cantus", where people usually show up in a lab coat, worn and customised over the years. It's never washed. The dirtier, the better. People sing old songs together, get punished with drinking games, and get absolutely shitfaced. They pay like 10 euros and can drink as much as they can all night.

Only dress code is a ribbon. Higher ranking members with praesidium functions have a wider ribbon, usually.
