Korporatsioon Ugala (the Ugala Fraternity), also known as Korp! Ugala,[1] is a fraternal organization of Estonian higher education students. It was established at the University of Tartu in 1913.
History
[edit]Korporatsioon Ugala was established at the University of Tartu on 10 November 1913 (28 November 1913 Julian calendar).
The Ugala corporation house was planned by its member Arnold Matteus, who was also a Tartu architect. The house was completed in 1939.
During the Soviet annexation of Estonia, Korporatsioon Ugala was banned for nearly fifty years. However, the Ugala members gathered in a number of exile branches of the fraternity, most notably in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Sweden.[1]
Ugala was officially reinstated at Tartu University on 28 October 1988. It is a member of the League of Estonian Corporations.
