Two real-life stories.
Boys who, in a climate that can stigmatize them merely for being male, don\'t necessarily want to navigate the complicated, coming-of-age journey to manhood alone..
And it\'s a book about boys at a vulnerable age, living on their own for perhaps the first time.
It\'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.
It\'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.
To find out what it\'s like to be a Fraternity brother in the twenty-first century, Robbins contacted hundreds of brothers whose chapters don\'t make headlines--and who suggested that many fraternities can be healthy safe spaces for men.
Fraternity is more than just a page-turning, character-driven read.
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.
Their year-in-the-life stories help explain why students are joining fraternities in record numbers despite scandalous headlines.
One stunning twist.
