Fraternities are built on the concepts of brotherhood and camaraderie,
with members often bonding over shared interests, whether they are
social, academic, or even religious.
Going Greek generally comes at a cost—including fees for social
events, recruitment, and housing and membership dues—but can be an
easy way to meet new people and become part of an active social circle.
Students who pledge a fraternity may also inherit a network of contacts
that extends well beyond their campus, a plus when it's time to find a
job or settle into a new city after graduation.
The schools on this list had the highest percentage of male
undergraduates in fraternities in fall 2011.
