Definición

  • Fraternity and sorority stem from the Latin words frater and soror, meaning “brother” and “sister,” respectively. Although the terms may be used to describe an array of social and charitable organizations such as the Lions Club, Rotary International, or the Shriners, the terms are most commonly employed in reference to selective groups on U.S. college and university campuses.
