Fraternities and sororities provide a quick connection to other individuals and a link to the social pipeline, camaraderie, and support. These organizations differ in their philosophies and commitment to philanthropy. Some are committed to community service; others are more socially oriented. Fraternities and sororities created by and for specific ethnic groups, such as Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity and Sigma Omicron Pi Sorority, have existed for years and were developed by students of color who wanted campus groups that allowed them to connect to their communities and cultures. Such organizations have provided many students with a means to become familiar with their campus as well as gain friendships and support while promoting their cultures and ethnicities.
