Eumavia Lovaniensis

Goals & Activities

The Eumavia was originally founded on the principles Virtus, Scientia and Amicitia (Latin: virtue, knowledge, friendship). These still apply today, although they are no longer emphasised as often in fraternity life.

Activities

Today the association's activities pursue three main goals: to integrate and support East Belgian students in university life in New Louvain, to preserve East Belgian cultural heritage and showcase it in New Louvain, and finally to be a link to New Louvain within East Belgium itself. Alongside weekly meetings as well as traditional pub evenings and coronae, the following activities are organised, among others:

Members of the Eumavia at an event
  • a Saint Martin's procession
  • sports activities
  • cultural city excursions
  • May Night singing
  • conferences on socio-political topics
  • a traditional ball
  • a foundation celebration
  • an alumni reunion (Martinsessen)
  • study information days for prospective students
