On university campuses across the United States, (male) fraternities and (female) sororites provide community for higher education students.

There are various types of fraternities; social, professional, and honor fraternities. The most recognizable (and cliched) form of fraternity is the social fraternity. As lampooned by John Belushi in the film Animal House, such social frats are traditionally thought of as stuck-up elitist pigs who have to pay for the friendship of others; no problem, given their moneybags of parents.
