Very interesting. I'd read it.

Masculinity varies across time, social class, race, and other designations of social and cultural capital.

So the "fraternal masculinity" to be discussed in this book is a fraternal version of white-predominantly middle to upper class-masculinity.

Seems kind of similar to Inside Greek U.: Fraternities, Sororities, and the Pursuit of Pleasure, Power, and Prestige By Alan D. DeSantis.

Edited to add: I just noticed from the Q&A with Mr. Syrett that he is not a member of a fraternity. Whereas, Mr. DeSantis is a member of a fraternity and if I am not mistaken, currently serves as a faculty advisor to various chapters (NPHC, NIC and NPC) at the University of Kentucky. Note: UK requires that in addition to a chapter advisor, each GLO must have a facility advisor too. And they do not have to be a member of the organization to serve as one.
