Fraternities derive their name from the Latin word "frater," meaning "brother." This reflects the core principle of brotherhood among members, emphasizing camaraderie and support. The use of "fraternity" specifically refers to male student organizations in the context of higher education, while similar female organizations are often referred to as sororities, derived from the Latin "soror," meaning "sister."
