chaos.
Fraternities try to redefine their image
Its annual conference is a top event for German fraternities: not only a
time to drink and be merry, but also to discuss the direction the
assocations should take, and how to shake off their far-right
reputation.
This year, around 400 members from fraternities all across Germany are
meeting in Eisenach from May 23-26 for their annual conference. Former
fraternity members, called "Alte Herren," who financially support the
associations for life, also come to the annual "Burschentag" meeting.
These "seniors" give lectures and help kickstart the younger members'
careers.San Diego Mayor Building Economic Bridges to Tijuana
By JENNIFER MEDINA
Mayor Bob Filner sees the border as a potential economic engine for
the region, a remarkable shift in a city once viewed as a hotbed for
illegal immigration.
Long pigeonholed as a hotbed for frat parties and activism, Madison has a vibrant but much more tempered side brimming with arts, culture and food. In a city with so many types to keep happy, it’s impossible not to find something that suits your fancy.

confrere
(kŏn'frâr')n.
A fellow member of a fraternity or profession; a colleague.
[Middle English, from Old French, from Medieval Latin cōnfrāter : Latin com-, com- + Latin frāter, brother.]
Synonyms: colleague, fellowThe thought certainly obsesses Burt Hecker, the narrator of Tod Wodicka’s first novel, “All Shall Be Well; and All Shall Be Well; and All Manner of Things Shall Be Well,” a title whose length and repetitiveness don’t bode well for its contents. Burt, a medieval re-enactor whose fanatic refusal to live in the historical present has brought pain to the people around him, goes through life in a dirty tunic and a mead-induced stupor. He refuses to learn to drive, calling automobiles, somewhat witlessly, “time machines.” Now well into his 60s, he avoids all that is “OOP” — that is, “Out of Period.” His principal comfort is his amateur society, the Confraternity of Times Lost Regained, which sponsors medieval fairs, jousts and banquets.

A confraternity is normally a Roman Catholic or Orthodox organization of lay people created for the purpose of promoting special works of Christian charity or piety, and approved by the Church hierarchy.
