Fraternitas and Gevjon were originally societies for pupils at Drammen Latin School, and the societies continue today at the Latin School's successor, Drammen Upper Secondary School.[1] Fraternitas (latin for "fraternity") is a male fraternity, and was founded as a literary fraternity under the name of Silentium ("silence") on 19 November 1850. 22 members of the original Silentium are known, and the fraternity's existence remained secret for ten years.[2] Gevjon was founded in 1911 as a girl sorority and the sister society of Fraternitas, and was named for the goddess Gefjon in Norse mythology.[3][4][5]
