How a 150-year-old Zurich fraternity is adapting to the present.

Utonia is not the largest, but perhaps the most Zurich-like of all the Zurich student fraternities: Their caps are blue like the lake, their ribbons white-blue like the coat of arms of the city and the canton of Zurich, and the name is reminiscent of the local mountain.

It seems out of step with time. But closing themselves off to change would be their downfall.

SECRET SOCIETIES & BLIND LOYALTY

Throughout the world, the corridors of power are lined with men and women that belong to secret societies. So too are the executive suites of major corporations. Unbeknownst to most people, factions from rival secret societies often battle one another for power and control within government chambers and executive boardrooms. What results is a litany of covetous behavior and gross corruption.

Happy Bastille Day, my French brothers and sisters! #bastilleday #bastille #bastilleday2023 #vivalafrance #liberty #equality #fraternity

On July 14, 1789, revolutionaries stormed the Bastille prison, which had become a symbol of the monarchy's dictatorial rule. The event became one of the defining moments in the French Revolution that followed, as it marked the beginning of the overthrow of the ancien régime. #Liberty #Equality #Fraternity #Liberté, #égalité

My labor of love has been chronicling the history of the #Delphic #Fraternity, which has origins dating back to 1833. The 150th-anniversary edition of the fraternity's history e-book is available online at http://delphicfraternity.net #history #ebook

#Sunak proves he's a #Johnson #slease ridden protégé & crony. #RichardSharpe was PM's Goldman Sach's boss, a massive Tory donor, & not above grovelling in the gutter 4 a Johnson loan. We need a truly independent BBC selection, & a written constitution. #ToryCorruption #fraternity

#KingCharles calls 4 '#Volunteering''. There is an incongruity here, a multi billionaire born with a silver spoon calling upon a population where #foodbanks are normal, child poverty is rife, to 'help out'. Many do volunteer out of selflessness, does that include you Charles? @RepublicStaff #fraternity

As pointed out by many #Brexit is 'the greatest loss of sovereignty since 1066'. To build semiconductor plants, car battery plants, #science projects etc we must #RejoinEU & then UK will rebuild its sovereignty & self respect as part of #EU family. #fraternity #StandWithUkraine

Vladimir Kara-Murza sentenced to 25 years for opposing the #corrupt Russian Govt & the Ukraine war. His statement demonstrated immense fortitude, dignity & compassion, qualities that the current Russian leaders can only dream of. #FreeKaraMurza #StandWithUkraine️ #fraternity #RussianAutocracy

We saw several theatres and recital halls, dance and recording studios, on today’s tour. My old conservatory in VA.

#BBCR4Today #Cleverly says 'absolutely determined' to d/w migrants. There are 160K plus migrants awaiting decision, 21 returned, 45K arrived, this extremist Govt threatens 2 leave ECHR. Govt bigoted & incompetent, we MUST #RejoinTheEU #SunakOut #fraternity

Lineker's comments have drawn bile from the extreme right, but an elective dictatorship is being discussed. #Johnson removed all thoughtful progressives like #Clarke, #Stewart et al, such things happened in the dark days of the 1930s. https://tinyurl.com/2p8d867m #RejoinEU #ToriesOut #fairness #fraternity

The crowds of people at #Putin's rally were state employees forced to attend, reports say. The number of people leaving seems to back this up. The Russian people are being deceived. https://tinyurl.com/yckh4xb2 #StandWithUkraine #peace #fraternity

No surprise that #grammarschools failing to let in poorer children. Such schools based on selection & elitism, they entrench division & affront the dignity of hundreds of thousands of youngsters. They MUST be swept away. https://tinyurl.com/2h3uu69s

#VaclavHavel's seminal essay 'The Power of the Powerless' now more apposite than ever. It can be read at http://literaria.hstn.me/, then follow Literary & Educational ReadonLine & Downloads. #fraternity #fairness #freedom

Fascinating read.
“Biden explicitly rejected that philosophy of individualism, aggression, and atomization. Explicitly. Instead, he proposed a philosophy of cooperation, togetherness, and interdependence.”
#Fraternity reinvented.

The appointment of #LeeAnderson as Dep Chair tells us much about this Tory party. He's a hang 'em & flog 'em Tory, criticises #foodbank users etc. He's an affront to human dignity, just like the party of #liars. https://tinyurl.com/r5ymtenx #fairness #fraternity #ToryLiars
