Eric: Right now I live in an apartment off campus. I didn't like living on campus because the people in my dorm always had their doors closed and were studying. It wasn't much fun.
Patty: That's too bad. It sounds like the people in your dorm weren't as close as the people in my dorm.
Eric: No, you're right. Living off campus is OK, but I feel like I miss out on all of the fun stuff that happens on campus.
Patty: Have you ever thought of joining a fraternity? I hear that all the brothers in the frat houses are really close.
Eric: Yeah, I've thought about joining a frat. But the frat houses are just so dirty! I'm not sure I could take it.
Professor Bowman, "fraternity"是兄弟会吗?
Prof: Exactly. And the "frat house" is the house that the people in the fraternity live in. Sometimes fraternities are called the "Greek system." If you join a fraternity, you can say that you "go Greek."
加入兄弟会可以说“Go Greek",真有意思!那我猜,既然有兄弟会,一定也有“姐妹会”吧?
Professor: Yes! In the next section, listen for the word "sorority," which is a fraternity for women.
Eric: What about you? Have you ever thought about joining a sorority?
Patty: No way. I've heard a lot of horror stories about Greek life. Plus, I'm not a big drinker and I decided it's better to keep a clear head and focus on my studies.
