Greek life is a unique part of American college culture, so when European photographer Philip Holt saw his son off to school at Clarkson University, he had little idea of what his son's new brotherhood within the Delta Upsilon frat would be like.

"My reference [to frat houses] was the film 'Animal House' with John Belushi, and yes, I was surprised to see how accurate the frat lifestyle was depicted," Holt told Business Insider. "[But] I can honestly say they were some of the finest young men I have met. They were so cordial, helpful and smart."
Upon his first visit, Holt knew he needed to document the house and the young men that lived there. The project inspired him to visit other Greek life establishments, including Zeta Beta Xi, as well as some sororities. Below, see a selection of Holt's best frat house coverage.
