Question

What are Fraternities/Sororities?

Answer 1

"Fraternity" and "Sorority" (from the Latin words frater and soror, meaning "brother" and "sister" respectively) are social organizations for undergraduate students at North American colleges and universities. There are also analogous, but less common, organizations for secondary students. Typically, fraternities are initiatory organizations, membership is considered active during the undergraduate years only, and the fraternity may be organized to provide academic mutual assistance, residential and dining facilities, and a comprehensive social calendar.
