Women's pile

Damenflor (Flor: outdated for "blossom"; from the Latin flos , "blossom") referred to all women in the area of student associations who regularly appear as guests at the events of an association. This mostly includes friends / wives / sisters of the members, daughters of old men and, more rarely, just guests. The term is rarely used these days. In the time before all connections were dissolved in 1936 and after the Second World War, when many connections were re-established, this term was more common. It was also customary for the women's florist to have its own board and publish its own semester program. With some connections, the consenior maintained a so-called ladies list in order to distribute invitations to a ladies dinner or a ball.

Today, women with corporate ambitions prefer to join a women's association. The term is therefore perceived as derogatory, as it suggests that women are accessories and decorations for events.
