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.

Commonly mistaken as a "frat" a fraternity is a group of men who share a bond of brotherhood. Most people can not understand. It could be compared to that of family. So yeah while those stupid ass "frat" boys give the rest of us a bad name there are some of us out there who do care about our personal worth and character.

A male organization known for their childish exclusion of others, excessive alcohol consumption, false sense of accomplishment and, of course, small genitals. Members of such an organization tend to travel in packs and develop a feeling of inadequacy and malaise if a brother is not aronud to have his back (or give him oral sex). Futhermore, brothers are often stricken with low grades, wide assholes and several sexual diseases.

a large quantity of males in the same house attempting to gather females (usually sorority girls) to parties that involve an obscene amount of alcohol.

A clandestine group of well-heeled males. While they like to call themselves "leaders", in truth, they are nothing more than manipulators and are more then fairly adept at ruining peoples lives. Don't cross them or they will destroy you. Short on imagination themselves, they hire others to do their thinking for them and are great at taking credit for other peoples work. Unless, of course, the job doesn't go as planned. Then said frat brother cuts his losses and walks. Tremendous deniability. Only friendly to those heads who can advance the brother. A**H***s, every one of them. Occasionally they apologize for being class-one A**H***s, but the moment passes and they go right back to doing what comes naturally. They despise all women, without exception.

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 few men not affiliated with the fraternity are allowed in without paying. This makes it easier for frat boys to get laid. People in fraternities tend to preppy and metrosexual or absolutely disgusting slobs; there is rarely any middle ground.

A "secret" society of homosexual white boys established so they can have butt sex in private.

An organization designed upon societal and/or religious virtues and designated by greek letters which is intended to provide additional assistance to young college men beyond the curriculum of their respective university, including but not limited to leadership, organizational, rhetorical, political and social skills. Focused on the instillment of manly principles such as maturity, discipline, honor, self restraint, friendship, kindness, labor and selflessness. These are values which the typical university does not attempt to foster and which are sadly lacking in many (but not all) of our generation. Fraternities are like people; there are good ones and bad ones, and each individual is responsible for which one they associate with as they will be rightly judged in kind; however, as with people, it is also highly irresponsible and ignorant to label or judge them wholesale.
