I created FraternityMan.com in 2014 to provide an independent and insightful look into the college fraternity experience.
That said, many of the best and most popular articles on Fraternity Man have nothing to do with Greek Life. Neat!
Fraternity Man readers are highly engaged and loyal members of the fraternity/sorority community. I cover themes including organizational management, social leadership, fraternity history/culture, and grassroots activism within fraternity organizations.

As a student and fraternity professional, I was applauded as someone who “got it”...until I actually tried to put what I was taught about “leadership” into practice. Fraternity organizations, and the field of work built around them, are locked in a crisis mindset. They prioritize self-preservation above all else, and that does not jive with the declarations we make about “self-government” and “values-based decision making.”
So, on Fraternity Man, we combine an experienced, professional-grade opinion with creative, unrestricted thinking. We advocate for fraternities to embrace friendship, free speech, and member-centric reforms. Check out the Fraternity Manifesto to understand how this point of view can revitalize the fraternity experience. Then, read these; have some fun.
