I don't think it's the same at all. Sorostitute is nothing like a racial slur. Even if we were going to assume that the term was considered a slur by the group described, which as weird as I think it is: I'm pretty sure that some greek women use the terms themselves affectionately, it wouldn't equate with using an offensive terms for a whole race.

It might be a slur to women who elect to be Greek, but it's no reflection on women generally who are not Greek.

You're welcome to be offended by it and think it's a reflection on the users, but it's probably not going to be a reliable indicator of a guy's view on women and maybe not even his view of sorority women.
