I made up geschwisterkeit. I ought to have known that humorous inventiveness is not something German is renowned for.

I'm really not liking the smileys, so I thought I would make my own... I couldn't find a smiley of James Brown... <smirk>

Geschwisterlichkeit
That's not workable: any word describing a frat must be capable of being pronounced by at least half of the frat members at least half of the time.
On the other hand, it *would* make a good pledge test ...

In reply to:
I know very little about them; was never into the Greek life, as if it was .
I did find this confusing a couple of weeks ago when wandering round the website of a US students' organisation and assumed the link was for those studying New Testament Greek.
No mention of Greek love either .

Way back when I was in university there were frat houses but no sorority houses due to a badly written law that made them fit within the definition of bordello. (don't know if they changed the law by now)
