sororities and fraternities

Sororities and fraternities are social organizations primarily found at colleges and universities. They foster lifelong friendships, personal development, and networking through shared activities, community service, and social events. Members often wear specific symbols, participate in rituals, and engage in leadership opportunities. While sometimes associated with parties, their core focus is on building community, encouraging academic achievement, and promoting brotherhood or sisterhood. Membership typically involves a selective recruitment process, and these organizations can influence students' social and professional lives beyond college.
