fraternities and sororities  

Définition

  • Although the words fraternities and sororities refer to a broad range of social, professional, honor, service, and recognition societies, the emphasis here is on the history, description, and analysis of the Greek-letter societies established for the purpose of fellowship by students on college and university campuses in North America. Antecedents of American Fraternities The origins of social fraternities have been traced to the student societies at the University of Bologna, Italy, in the eleventh century, which provided living quarters for their members and were based on nationalities (and called “nations”).
