What is Greek life in colleges?

And why do they have fraternity and sorority names so strange? Example: Alpha kappa what??? Why?

I don’t understand the whole picture of Greek life. What is it? And why does it exist?

Edit: and why do they all move-in to one big house instead of their own dorms like the usual college student?

Those are greek letters. Each group is usually 3 letters. Thus why they call it greek. It has its roots in early collegiate fraternal groups that were about scholarship and ethics and latin and Greek were mandatory subjects at the time.

As for what they are now. Depends on who you ask. Ask them and theyll probably say it’s about friends, networking, and doing charitable acts. Others might say it’s about binge drinking and paying for friends. Theres truth to both of those.
