Never knew, that many fraternities had chapters and connections in Europe. That's great. I recall hearing about one in London. Didn't one of their members post on here a while ago? In some Germany groups members have to practice and some of them fight on a regular basis. There is a chance to get hit in the face or neck They use real sabers but wear protective gear.
Last edited by Tulip86; at AM. There is definitely a lack of modern groups at my university but not a lack of interest. I went to a bar that night with some friends and told them of US fraternities. The problem is, that i dont know HOW to found such a group. Are there any websites, that could help me with this? You might want to contact the headquarters of one of the fraternities mentioned above that has already started colonies in the UK.
Some friends of mine have started a fraternity and a sorority in the Netherlands I currently study in the Netherlands. Since all groups here are unhoused, local and small it's fairly easy to start one rules-wise, I have a feeling your university might be similar in that way. It just takes time and effort. I agree with Sciencewoman, maybe contact one of the American fraternities already in Europe to see if they have and interest in a German chapter.
Just make sure you contact someone from the student activities office at the university to make sure you stick to their rules, being able to use university locations and being endorsed on their website helps a lot. All times are GMT The time now is AM.

Speaking up in class is encouraged and students can see their professors in their office hours. In Europe, classes focus on lectures, reading lots and lots of reading , and one or two major exams. Group projects and other activities are rare. In Spain, student debates are common. At European universities, students are generally expected to learn independently and academic help resources are not common like they are in the states.
Like Spain, informal student-teacher relationships are common in Finland. Living in a dorm is a big part of the United States college experience. Students often share a dorm with at least one roommate of their gender. In Europe, living in a dorm is not really a thing. Instead, many students live in apartments off-campus.
However, in the UK, there are residence halls, but it depends on the school. In college in the United States, there are so many school-affiliated things you can do outside the classroom. You can also participate in sororities. In the United Kingdom, there are also clubs, which are known as student societies. When you go to Europe, you will not find any fraternities nor sororities. In American colleges and universities, sports are a big deal, especially football. College football games are gigantic social events at most large universities.
Students wear their school colors at games, tailgate all day, and celebrate big wins with parties on campus. Athletic scholarships are given to high-performing student athletes. However, when you study abroad in Europe, you will see that sports have very little or no presence in colleges and universities.
European colleges and universities are seen as places solely for studying. Although soccer is insanely popular in Spain and Italy, there are no college clubs nor competitions at schools in those countries.
In the United States, you can major in something and minor in something. You can even do a double major. You have a lot of flexibility in choosing courses, but you are required to take general education courses. You also need to stick to one degree. In the United States, you can find student union centers. These are places for students to hang out, shop, and eat.
