FF Fraternity
F.F. Fraternity is the oldest Chinese fraternity in the United States, which today has evolved into a global brotherhood of academics, professionals and entrepreneurs.
The original idea of F.F. was to form an organization that fosters closer cooperation and mutual support among students from China studying on the East coast. Notable FF brothers have included renowned architect I.M. Pei and the Diplomat V.K. Wellington Koo.
