College fraternities are social organizations for male students at universities and colleges. They often focus on brotherhood, leadership, and community service. Members participate in various activities, including social events, philanthropy, and academic support. Each fraternity has its own values, traditions, and membership requirements. Fraternities are part of a larger system known as the Greek system, which includes sororities for female students. Many fraternities have houses where members live and gather. They are recognized for fostering lifelong friendships and networking opportunities, but they can also face criticism for issues related to exclusivity and hazing practices.
