Typical Fraternity Experience Definition of a Fraternity: A fraternity is an association of men, selected in their college days by democratic process, because of their adherence to common ideals and aspirations. Out of their association arises a personal relation which makes them unselfishly seek t advance one another in the arts of life and to add, to the formal instruction of the college curriculum, the culture and character which men acquire by contact with great personalities, or when admitted to the partnership of great traditions. A fraternity, too, is of such character that after men have left college they delight to renew their own youth by continued association with it and to bring their richest experiences back to the younger generation in part payment of the debt which they feel themselves to owe to the fraternity for what it gave them through their formative years.
