Catalogue information
In Pipo Veritas the oldest sorority of the DSCC / DJCR is 'Audentis et Virtutis'. It was founded in 1981 as a student fraternity of the then Drienerloos Studenten Corps 'Cheiron'. It is a pipe smoking society that only a few members join each year because of the spicy nature of pipe smoking. In February 2008 there are 5 active members and 15 former members of 'Audentis'. The association 'Rossinant' had no pipe smokers, at 'Cheiron' there were fewer than 20. The logo of the sorority was designed by Marten Toonder, the well-known author of the books about the gentleman -and pipe smoker!- from stand Olivier B. Bommel. The original should be in the archives of the former DSC Chiron which are now believed to be in the possession of the DSCC / DJCR 'Audentis et Virtutis'. The image comes from a sticker that was distributed to the very many fans of the sorority in the 1980s. However, much of this beautiful history has unfortunately gone up in smoke.
