Most students use the editions published by the Katholiek Vlaams Hoogstudentenverbond, which is composed of three parts: the corpsboek with songs of the most fraternities, the clubcodex and a part of more than three hundred songs. It is published in two editions: one with a green cover by the KVHV of Leuven and one with a blue cover by the KVHV of Ghent. Since the edition of 1993, they feature a common clubcodex and song part but have a different corpsboek.
In Brussels, students of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Erasmus University College use their own codex with a black cover, which contains no religious songs in it due to the pluralistic position of these institutions of higher education.
