... are a group of active students and alumni of local universities. We call ourselves Starkenburger after the region of origin of our founders.

We are primarily occupied with studying, but we also like to have a good time.
We pursue communal activities, responsibility and initiative. We also pursue interests beyond the realm of our main subject and enjoy discussions. Our organization is based and operates on the democratic principle. Every member must participate in the decision making process and there is no abstaining.

The corps' principle of tolerance requires us to respect others regardless of their political, philosophical or religious inclinations, their ethnic heritage and social status and to treat them in an honorable fashion and in the spirit of our pluralistic society.

The close, cohesive relationship to our alumni association is an important and integral part of our personal development within the corps. The experience and reputation of our elders and their friendship for life will guide and comfort us as we approach the future and its new responsibilities and challenges.
