20. Fraternities and Sororities
Fraternities and sororities are social organizations
for undergraduate students. The term refers mainly
to such organizations at colleges and universities,
although it is also applied to analogous groups also
known as corporations. Similar, but less common,
organizations also exist for secondary school
students. In modern usage, the term "Greek letter
organization" is often synonymous, with the terms
"fraternity" and "sorority".

sex, initiatory organizations with membership
considered active during the undergraduate
years only. Greek letter organizations may
sometimes be considered mutual aid societies,
providing academic and social activities. Some
groups also maintain a chapter house (common
house), providing residential and dining facilities
for members.
