history
In the 1940s, developed Valparaíso after the founding of the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaiso and the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María gradually to a university town. On June 30, 1949, the Gaudeamus fraternity was founded on the initiative of the German Valparaíso Association and the other Chilean fraternities . The German Association of Women , the German Excursion Association , the German Aid Association and the German Gymnastics and Sports Association in Valparaíso emerged from the German Association founded in 1838 , the “oldest German association in Latin America” .
The fraternity changed its name in the first year of its existence to Ripuaria (from Latin ripa : the bank). The boys of the Ripuaria wear a black , white and red ribbon , the foxes a white and red ribbon , each with a silver percussion. A red cap is worn as headgear . The motto is discipline, work, joy .
Since 1966, Ripuaria has been a member of the Federation of Chilean Fraternities (BCB), which has a friendship agreement with the German fraternity .
In the early years of the fraternity, the Ripuaria was housed in the listed headquarters of the German Association Valparaíso since 1996. The corporation house of the Ripuaria is today in Viña del Mar , a neighboring town.
