I legitimately don't know what Fraternity is and why it's normal in America and why these dudes are standing like this.

Calling a toff club a “frat” sounds weird. It would be like if John Cena started talking about opening up the bonnet of his car.

Yeah it is weird using the same word but functionally they do the same things and serve the same purpose.

Aren't frats present at most colleges, and aren't they much easier to get into?
OP isn't asking about "clubs for rich people" which seems what you're reducing this to be. Frats focus much more on providing housing to members as well, don't they?
