There are three classes of such student societies:
- Societies with no colours (so called schwarz, in English black)
- Societies with colours but wearing no ribbon, no cap etc. They wear their colours e.g. in their coat of arms or as Zipfel.
- Societies with colours and wearing a ribbon, a cap etc.
