Regarding your questions:
- The fascinating thing about american-style fraternities is how they connect people. All members are working together on this "project".
- If you join a german "fraternity" it is more like joining a club/group. You dont see the members in everyday uni-life because they stay for themselves.
Have a look at this documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEBI5NK70iU (it is a german documentary but you'll maybe have a little insight through the pictures). Their aim is to maintain the tradition without charitable or educational/social goals. Furthemore they are in very bad standing because they are often associated with national socialism.
- First i have seen fraternities in movies (for example animal house, american pie, social network). After this i began with internet research.

I wonder if you might not be more successful identifying the aspects of North American-style fraternities you are drawn to and adapting them to a more European-style context rather than trying to "import" a GLO.

That is a great idea. The greek letters would be more like a marketing aspect to attract people i guess.
