I've always wondered this...

Anyone on here belong to a fraternity or literary society?

If not and you went to a university, what kept you away from them?

:::EDIT::: Forgot to say, Sigma Chi, 2002.

no. basically non-existant at my undergrad institution.

that being said, i do belong to two fraternal organizations which aren't frats in the conventional sense.

Sigma Phi Epsilon, 1997-2001... Doesn't being a Mac user count kind of like a fraternity?

Sure. I've never heard of a "literary society." It sounds even more stuffy than the "Eating Club," one of which I belonged to during college.

Most social fraternities started as literary fraternities on campuses - now they're called literary societies to distance themselves from the word 'fraternity'.

Essentially, it's part study group, part social network, and really not that much different than the traditional fraternity, except that it's generally not common for members to live under the same roof, although there are examples of that.

Pot-ay-to, pot-ah-to, really.
