Reader's Digest Condensed version - early women's GLOs were called "women's fraternities" - hence all those GLOs formed prior to 1874 are fraternities. The term "sorority" was coined for Gamma Phi Beta upon the founding of the Beta chapter. Since then, some GLOs have chosen to use the term "sorority", and some "fraternity". Gamma Phi Beta's founding had NOTHING to do with any men's fraternity. HTH.
Back on topic - congratulations Scandia!
