i'm a member of Phi Mu which was founded in 1852 prior to the word Sorority which was invented for Gamma Phi Beta. So many of the sororities on my campus regardless of date of founding are fraternities as well like: Phi Sigma Sigma, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, as well as Phi Mu are nationally and formally known as FRATERNITIES (being modeled originally after men's organizations) while others ex: Sigma Sigma Sigma and Delta Phi Epsilon are formally titled as sororities. It is a matter of preference: example Alpha Delta Pi was originally a fraternity as well (they were founded in 1851) but formally changed to sorority (if I'm not mistaken). It is simply matter of choice and tradition. I hope I was clear, if not, someone try to clean up my point!
