A newcomer in a German student fraternity is called a Fuchs, a fox. He is applying for admission. His probation lasts one to three semesters. At most of the meetings, the Convente, he usually has no vote. An older student, the Leibbursch, stands by his Leibfuchs. He advises him and speaks for him at the meeting. After the probation the fox becomes a full member. In a Burschenschaft this step is called the Burschung. In a Corps it is called the Reception.
