The notion of fraternity is one of the most interesting in terms of the different types of ties that characterize the human being. Fraternity can be described as the bond that unites two siblings and that supposes, in addition to the blood bond, endless emotional and psychological connections that have to do with the parenting context, with lived experiences, with personalities, etc. . Fellowship can also often be felt with people with whom a blood bond is not necessarily shared, but many emotional life experiences are shared.
The abstract concept of fraternity always implies the notions of union, mutual respect and accompaniment. While all these characteristics are what make sibling relationships (or should do to them), the bonds of brotherhood can be extended to non-blood relations in which all these elements are present. Many philosophical and historical currents, such as socialism or communism among many others, resort to a notion of fraternity through which the different members of a society act together and united for the common good.
Following this idea, the fraternity can also be an institution in which the members that form it all occupy the same place with only a few superior members on a regular basis. Fraternities are thus organizations that are characterized by being formed and directed by people with common ties (blood or not) who come together with a specific objective. They are very typical in American universities and schools in which they represent a more or less large group of people who oppose others and who establish a whole system of symbols, rituals, forms of thought and ceremonies.
