Fraternity: An Inside Look at a Year of College Boys Becoming Men

TheÂ New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ PledgedÂ is back with an unprecedented fly-on-the-wall look inside fraternity houses from current brothersâ€™ perspectivesâ€”and a fresh, riveting must-read about what itâ€™s like to be a college guy today.
Â
Two real-life stories. One stunning twist. Meet Jake, a studious freshman weighing how far to go to find a brotherhood that will introduce him to lifelong friends and help conquer his social awkwardness; and Oliver, a hardworking chapter president trying to keep his misunderstood fraternity out of trouble despite multiple run-ins with the police.
Â
Their year-in-the-life stories help explain why students are joining fraternities in record numbers despite scandalous headlines. To find out what itâ€™s like to be a fraternity brother in the twenty-first century, Robbins contacted hundreds of brothers whose chapters donâ€™t make headlinesâ€”and who suggested that many fraternities can be healthy safe spaces for men.
Â
FraternityÂ is more than just a page-turning, character-driven read. Itâ€™s a vital book about the transition from boyhood to manhood; it brilliantly weaves psychology, current events, neuroscience, and interviews to explore the state of masculinity today, and what that means for students and their parents. Itâ€™s a different kind of story about college boys, a story in which they candidly discuss sex, friendship, social media, drinking, peer pressure, gender roles, and even porn. And itâ€™s a book about boys at a vulnerable age, living on their own for perhaps the first time. Boys who, in a climate that can stigmatize them merely for being male, donâ€™t necessarily want to navigate the complicated, coming-of-age journey to manhood alone.
