Can someone please explain US college fraternities.

While watching an old CSI, &, something else recently. It occured to me I have very little understanding of this part of Americana. (Before anyone else does, 'it's all Greek to me').
Even though it's been mentioned in plenty of programmes, over the years.

Good call. Despite growing up on episodes of Saved By The Bell: The College Years, I've absolutely no idea how these crazy yanks operate at college level

Unfortunately I'm not interested enough to want to read that lot.

Thanks anyway, you weren't to know I'm a lazy b*****d.
