Professional fraternity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professional fraternities, in the North American fraternity system, are organizations whose membership is restricted to students and faculty members in a particular field of professional education. Within that field, their membership is exclusive; however, they may initiate members who belong to other types of fraternities. Unlike most social fraternities, membership is usually open to both sexes.
The first professional fraternity was founded at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky in 1819: the Kappa Lambda Society, established for students in medical school.
[edit] List of professional fraternities
Most major professional fraternities are members of the Professional Fraternity Association. This group resulted in 1978 from a merger of the Professional Interfraternity Conference (PIC) (for men's groups) and the Professional Panhellenic Association (PPA) (for women's groups).
