From the ppl in my family and friends who are in NPHC sororities, I've heard the term all my life (I'm 25). I would think that it has been in use since the organizations were establsihed in the early 1900s.
I've never heard any non-NPHC groups use the term, but my mom and her friend refer to my sisters as my "sorors," although I would just say "sister." 
P.S. my mom is not in a GLO
