Commercium

A commercium is a traditional academic feast known at universities in most Middle and Eastern European countries. In German it is called a 'Kommers'. Today it is still organised by student fraternities in germanic and related countries (e.g., Baltic states, Poland).

At a commercium tables often are placed in the form of a U or a W, the participants drink beer and sing commercium songs. Some traditions may impose formal speeches and greetings as well. There are strict and traditional rules that govern this occasion. A commercium is the more formal form of the tableround.
