When students from wide range of backgrounds come together and decide to spend four years together away from home, they may often find themselves in tough spot. Many groups and clubs come into play in such situations which provide a platform for strangers to get acquainted with each other.

But, fraternities in colleges go beyond the usual purpose of associations based on common interests. They are brotherhoods which bind the members for life. Even after graduating, the bond between the members often remains strong. Same goes with the sororities where women find themselves immersed in Greek life at colleges, which is usually male-dominated.

Greek life at colleges is facing severe criticisms due to the increased reports of hazing. Yet, their popularity does not seem to be blemished. Belongingness is still a primal motive behind human actions.

The leaders who compiled the annual U.S. News & World Report rankings do acknowledge the importance of Greek life at college. Hence, the rankings do accommodates an exclusive list for colleges with highest number of students in fraternities and sororities.
