Corps loop bearer
A corps loop bearer (also: owner of the corps loop , IdC for short) is a member of a corps with restricted rights. Instead of the couleur ribbon , he wears a corps bow .
Design of the corps loop
The bow has the same colors as the corps ribbon and is worn on the left lapel. Most corps make the bow the width of the ribbon of a vineyard . In some corps, especially in southern Germany, it is just as wide as the tape.
The corps loop is not to be confused with the field buckle , as was common at Scotto-Germania .
Other connection types have the status of the connoisseur ; this can often also be recognized by a color loop.
Reasons for award
If a recipient corps boy cannot fight the minimum number of lengths required by his corps , he will be inactivated by the convention with the ribbon after the active time and later philistised .
The owner of the corps loop can also become someone who for physical reasons cannot fight at all; According to the statutes of the Kösener Seniors Convent Association , he must have been a regular fox and corps boy.
Most of the ribbons have always been given out of gratitude to corps students. In a legal gray area, outside friends of the Corps are sometimes honored with the ribbon.
