<p>What are they all about?The college that I plan to go to has both and it says that 12% of men and women are in those f/s.So can anybody explain what are they for?</p>
<p>Well, I was researching this same subject not long ago when I was working on my applications.</p>
<p>Fraternity-group for dudes
Sorority-group for girls</p>
<p>So you usually in most cannot join a fraternity if you are girl and vice versa. They are usually a group of people who like the Greek life more or less. I guess some might be devoted to bettering the community, but I do not think deep down that is the main object of any of them.</p>
<p>Kind of like cliques in high school. Perhaps admission is more loose.</p>
