Fraternities and Sororities are fraternal social organizations for undergraduate students. The term refers mainly to such organizations at colleges and universities in North America, although it is also applied to analogous European groups. In modern usage, the term 'Greek letter organization' is often synonymous with the terms 'fraternity' and 'sorority'.
Typically, Greek letter organizations are single-sex, initiatory organizations with membership considered active during the undergraduate years only, although a notable exception to this rule are historically black, Latino, Asian, and multicultural organizations, in which active membership continues, and into which members are often initiated long after the completion of their undergraduate degrees. Greek letter organizations may sometimes be considered mutual aid societies, providing academic and social activities. Some groups also maintain a chapter house, providing residential and dining facilities for members.
In modern usage, the term 'Greek letter organization' has become synonymous with the North American fraternity and sorority.
The names of North American fraternities and sororities generally consist of two or three Greek letters, often the initials of a Greek motto. For this reason, fraternities and sororities are referred to by the encompassing term 'Greek letter organization' and described by the adjective 'Greek,' as seen in phrases such as 'Greek community,' 'Greek system,' 'Greek life,' or members as 'Greeks.' An individual fraternity or sorority is often called a 'Greek house' or simply 'house,' terms which may be regarded as misleading since the usage of a phrase with 'house' in it may be taken to refer to a chapter's physical property whereas many fraternities and sororities do not have a chapter house; alternatively, 'chapter' and 'organization' are used in these contexts, with the latter referring to the group as a collective entity, and the former referring to a specific division of such entity, though not all fraternities and sororities have multiple chapters. The use of Greek letters started with Phi Beta Kappa (then a social fraternity and today an honor society) at the College of William & Mary.
