[1][2] Membership in the fraternity is open to honorable men[3] studying at one of Berlin's universities and is based exclusively on personality, good moral standing, and strength of character.

Continuing a practice dating back into the 1700s, Corps Berlin's members wear the traditional couleur, colored stripes, in blue-red-green.

The fraternity teaches and expects tolerance from its members, stemming from diverse ethnic, national, religious and political backgrounds.

[1] The fraternity encourages freshly admitted (pledging "fox") members with diverse ethnic, national, religious and political backgrounds to prove themselves as valuable Corps brothers, purely on the basis of personal character and merit, before becoming eligible to be fully incorporated (Rezeption).

With the goal to achieve members who are prepared to become active leaders in society, every Corps brother is expected to hold a leadership position at least once for a term or semester while a student.

[4] Similarly, every member must finish his higher educational degree with good academic standing in order to advance to the status of Alter Herr or alumnus.
