Question: Why were fraternities ever created? I am writing a paper for a class, and I was wondering why fraternities were created. Were they to teach men things about life, or was it for friends? I am curious. Thanks for the help!!

Answer: Fraternities are very old, so it is hard to tell why they were created.  I would say brotherhood (sisterhood for sororities)  Greek organizations exsist today because it is a college tradition dating back to the 1700's
