List of fraternities and sororities in Estonia

Last updated

This is the list of fraternities and sororities based in Estonia, along with their umbrella associations. For example, the League of Estonian Corporations (EKL) is an umbrella organization for Estonian student corporations.

Contents

From 1940 to 1941 and 1944 to 1991, Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union as the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1940, all fraternities and sororities were banned; although many survived outside of Estonia as chapters established by alumni or as sub rosa operations in Estonia. [1] Since the following list only includes organizations operating in Estonia, fraternities and sororities are listed as inactive during the era of occupation. More information about the Soviet era can be found in notes and articles about each group.
