Preferred term

fraternities  

Definition

  • Fraternities are a part of colleges and universities across the nation. Once thought of as a group where like-minded young gentlemen could share their thoughts freely, the historical foundations of fraternities have paved the way for the understanding of how contemporary fraternities fit into the social network of a young man's life. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Networks; Fraternities]
