Currently all five fraternities in Chile belong to the BCB:

history

Organized immigration of Germans into southern and central Chile began in 1843 ( see also: Germans in Chile ). The German-Chileans preserved their traditions more strongly than other immigrant groups and introduced typical German associations into their new homeland.

The descendants of German immigrants founded the Araucania fraternity in Santiago de Chile in 1896, the first of currently five fraternities in Chile.

In 1959, three of the then four Chilean fraternities founded the Delegate Convention of Chilean fraternities (DCCB). This should improve the cooperation of the individual fraternities and also enable a united appearance towards the German fraternity, which had offered the Chilean fraternities a friendship and work agreement.

The BCB was founded on May 30, 1966 from the DCCB by the three fraternities Araucania, Montania and Andinia. On October 15 of the same year, the Ripuaria and Vulkania fraternities also joined the BCB.

Relations with Germany

Friendship agreement with the German fraternity

The Federation of Chilean fraternities maintains a friendship and work agreement with the German fraternity (DB). Both associations retain their independence in this regard, but the leagues of the other association receive a seat and an advisory vote at all association meetings.

Every year, the BCB enables a member of a DB fraternity to stay in Chile (“Chilestipendium”) through a scholarship advertised by DB. In return, the DB annually donates a BCB scholarship to a Chilean fraternity in the Federal Republic of Germany or Austria (“Germany scholarship”).

Scale length

The fraternities of the BCB do not carry out any scales between each other because the legal situation of the scale in Chile has not been clarified. The holders of a Germany Scholarship, however, place parties under gun protection during their stay in Germany .

Publications

The BCB published the magazine Vita Nostra ( Our Life ) at irregular intervals . It has been published since 2012 under the new title Today is Today .
