These groups often have Greek letters as their names (e.g. Alpha Phi, Sigma Chi) and are based on principles such as community, academic excellence, philanthropy and personal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-structure-and-organization\">Structure and Organization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fraternities and Sororities<\/strong>: They are usually separated by gender and provide a close-knit community of \u201cbrothers\u201d or \u201csisters\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chapters<\/strong>: Each fraternity has local \u201cchapters\u201d at different universities, all organized under a national or international umbrella organization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-traditions-and-activities\">Traditions and activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-social-events\">Social events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Formals and galas<\/strong>: Formal dances where members invite their guests to an elegant evening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mixers<\/strong>: Social gatherings between different fraternities, often with a specific theme or dress code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-philanthropy-and-community-work\">Philanthropy and community work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many fraternities emphasize community service and host fundraisers to raise money for charitable causes.
