Introduction '''Korporatsioon Ugala''' (the Ugala Fraternity), also known as '''Korp! Ugala''', is a fraternal organization of Estonian higher education students. It was established at the University of Tartu on 10 November 1913 (28 November 1913 Julian calendar).The Ugala flag colors are black, blue, and white (standing for fatherland, friendship, and honesty).The Ugala corporation house was planned by its member Arnold Matteus, who was also a Tartu architect. It was completed in 1939.During the Soviet annexation of Estonia, Ugala was banned for nearly 50 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. Ugala was officially reinstated at Tartu University on 28 October 1988.
