…The word fraternity comes from the Latin frater, meaning brother, and its origins can be traced back to the colleges of medieval Europe and England. The first American fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa, was formed at the College of William and Mary in 1776, and is therefore also called a Greek-letter society, since its name usually includes Greek letters. There are various types of fraternities, such as social fraternities, professional fraternities, which aim to help members pursue professional careers such as education, law, and medicine, and honor societies, which only accept high-achieving students. …
