A group of college men with strong ties of brotherhood whose goals are to become better men. A brother is somebody who can be relied on in times of need and somebody who you will remain friends with for life. Fraternity men often have large networks in the professional world and are prominent in other groups on campus. Members in fraternities are often well dressed. They emphasize academic, philanthropy, fundraising, and social aspects of college life. Typically the Greek community are some of the most dedicated, hardworking, and involved students on any given campus who know how to have fun.
John: Hey man are you rushing a fraternity this year?
Greg: I'm definitely going to try, I've been dying to get into the whole Greek scene.

A fraternity is an association of men, selected in their college days by a democratic process, because of their adherence to common ideals and aspirations. Out of their association arises a personal relationship which makes them unselfishly seek to advance one another in the arts of life and to add to the formal instruction of the college curriculum, the culture, and the character which men acquire by contact with great personalities, or when admitted to partnership in great traditions.A fraternity too is of such character that after men have left college they delight to renew their own youth by continued association with it and to bring their richest experiences back to the younger generation in part payment of the debt which they feel themselves to owe to the fraternity for what is gave them in their formative years.

a fraternity is a proud collection of stand up individuals who are just as smart, fun, or whatever trait those people not in one choose to think of themselves as. they enjoy the camaraderie that develops from the pledging process as well as all the parties and good times that come after a pledge class gets in. they go out of their way to show kids who are new to the college experience or new to the college itself a good time, many times to have those ungrateful punks label them in a matter similar to some of these entries.
boot camp recruits get hazed and broken down in the process of becoming soldiers, and upon finishing boot camp, they become part a brotherhood w/people who had undergone what they went through, take pride in what they have accomplished, and embark upon a new lifestyle.....a pledge class gets hazed and broken down in the process of becoming brothers, and upon finishing their pledging program, they become part of a fraternity w/people who had followed the same program, walk around with a sense of being able to go through what many people are too afraid to do, and embark upon a new lifestytle

This is a group of males in college who pay money to spend time together. They do a lot of community service, like a couple of hours a month, to prove to the world how great they are. They host a ton of parties with copious amounts of booze; females can come for free, but men who are not affiliated with the fraternity are not allowed in. This makes it easier for frat boys to get laid. If they cannot find a helpless or unconcious girl to rape they resort to butt fucking eachother.

A good way to make valuable connections in one's college years and land a real job with their degrees. Same applies to sororities. Written by a frustrated Boomerang Generation kid who has still not yet gotten any offers after interviews and has daily regrets of not pledging while in school.
I have encouraged my college freshman brother to look into joining a fraternity so he doesn't end up like myself after he graduates.
