History

On October 28, 1928 members of the Rotterdamsch Studenten Corps R.S.C. (student society) established the "Rotterdamsche Studenten Roeivereeniging" (R.S.R.V.) Skadi. Initially sharing a location with Royal "Maas" Yacht Club, they got their own place in 1949. From 1952 non-R.S.C. members could join.^[1] A student society or student organization is an organization, operated by students at a university, whose membership normally consists only of students. ...

In 1962 Skadi became a member of the "Koninklijke Nederlandse Studenten Roeibond". While it incorporated the women's society Phaedra, part of Rotterdamsche Vrouwelijke Studenten Vereeniging R.V.S.V., (est. 1967) before that in 1976 it also merged with A.R.S.R. & Z.Hades (est. 1961) and became "Algemene Rotterdamse Studenten Roeivereniging" (A.R.S.R.) Skadi. Membership of either R.S.C. or R.V.S.V. was no longer mandatory.^[1]
