The Birth of Brotherhood – How Fraternities Got Their Start


Fraternities began with a simple idea: to create a space for friendship, intellectual growth, and mutual support among students. The very first fraternity, Phi Beta Kappa, was founded in 1776 at the College of William & Mary—not as a party club, but as a secret society for debate, academic excellence, and brotherhood.

From there, the idea spread: groups of students forming bonds around shared values, leadership, and service. While traditions have evolved, the heart of fraternity life remains the same—connection, purpose, and lifelong friendship.
