75% of the men belong
to a fraternity...
..and maybe 40% of the women
belong to a sorority.
But most of those members
aren't African American women.
Fraternities were formed in 1776
as secret literary dining clubs
with many similar rituals
to the Freemasons.
Ever since, they've mostly been
a bastion of America's
white middle classes.
Today, what's known
as Greek life has played
a role in the lives of many
of America's elite and powerful.
the bosses of some of America's
biggest companies, these still quite
secretive societies form part of
a network that reaches high into the
upper echelons of American society.
Nearly half of America's presidents
have pledged to a fraternity.
It's just that one little thing
that gives you an advantage
over another candidate
for a position to say,
well, we're fraternity brothers,
and so we obviously subscribe
to the same values
and the same beliefs,
and so therefore,
if I'm the candidate for a job,
you may say,
well, you know,
he represents qualities
that we are really looking for,
because I know what those are.
If you are a Tau Kappa Epsilon
and you are 23 years old
and you are looking for
a job in a new city,
you have, as a list of resources,
that you are part of,
and you can send a resume to
or you can make a phone call to.
And you as well as they have pledged
lifelong brotherhood,
and it works to the benefit
of many people.
In Florida, a new
intake of students are about to try
and join the Gazoni Family.
But new recruits will have
to prove themselves before they can
enter the brotherhood.
This kid has been washing
this guy's car for ever.
The hose doesn't reach, man.
That's awful.
The recruits will go through
an intensive ten-week period
called pledging where they will be
tested to see if they fit in.
I'm going to have you move
my entire bed to the left
and you are
going to take this sponge
and this bleach and you're going to
remove any mould that you see.
So, like, any of this black sh*t.
To demonstrate their loyalty,
the pledges have to do all
the menial jobs around the house.
I just want you to hang
all my clothes,
spray them with wrinkle release,
unwrinkle them.
Um, that's it.
All right, cool.
Pledge number 12.
It's James...
..and he's just going to
hang up my clothes. Hm?
I thought it was Jordan, not James.
Is it Jordan?
Thanks, man. Love you too, Bro.
See, I'm confused.
Just hang the shirts and throw
the pants in the dresser.
Button-downs first,
then long sleeves, and then T-shirts
and then, if you don't have enough
hangers, athletic shirts.
Pledging is a period
