Spelman College is a woman's college, thus there are no 'male only' Fraternities. Spelman has African American, Academic, and Professional greek organizations. You can find more information at www.spelman.edu or by contacting a current student.
A fraternity is a brotherhood of like-minded individuals, usually men. Greek fraternities on college campuses are the most common form of frat.

Anyone who isn't Greek.

Not sure what you mean by non-greek. fraternities and sorrorities are only greek in name. There are non social fraternities and sororities that have a more academic or leadership focus...a few examples are Gamma Sigma Alpha (academic), Phi Beta Kappa (academic), Rho Lambda (leadership)... non social but technically still greek.

Oh yeah. Big Greek life at FSU
The origin of the college fraternity dates back to December 5, 1776 with the creation of Phi Beta Kappa. Originally a secret society, it later changed in the 1830's to become an honorary fraternity. In the early 1820's, several other fraternities were created, all utilized Greek letters, displayed a badge, had a ritual and were secret societies. By the turn of the century, 40 fraternities were in existence through out the North America. Since 1900 the development of fraternities has been so rapid that the 20th century organizations outnumber those established previously. World War's I & II were a great strain on the fraternity system. Most college aged men were fighting overseas and many chapters closed. At the end of WW II, and largely because of the GI Bill, the "Golden Age" of Fraternities started as a result of the large influx of men into college. Universities with 40 fraternities, each with 50-150 men were not uncommon. The sixties and seventies were a tough period for fraternities as the youth of those eras questioned the "establishment" — fraternities were seen as part of this "establishment." Today, college fraternities have returned to their roots. They exist to provide a "home away from home", encourage high scholastic achievement, foster community spirit, and teach much needed leadership skills.
The Parthenon belonged to Athena the Greek goddess. Today it is the property of the Greek state.
Actually, he doesn't. There were some un-sourced rumors online that in college, he pledged a black fraternity (Kappa Alpha Psi or Alpha Phi Alpha), but there is no evidence to support these claims, and President Obama has never said he belonged to either of these groups. Mr. Obama has received honorary membership in several fraternities, however, and his wife Michelle has received honorary membership in at least one sorority.
