I think most of us can agree that our founders...of all of our greek letter orgs, would be appalled at the idea of fraternity men or women referring to sorority women as sorostitutes.

IMO, women like me...Gen X and later...have grown up with the concept that we were equal to men and could do anything a man could do. Even cuss or be promiscuous or provocative in all kinds of ways that shock our elders. I've had a long running joke with a pledge sister based on the whole "Jane you ignorant slut" thing for years. But as I get older, it's not nearly as funny as it was when we were 19.

One difference that still remains in my opinion, is that men can talk trash to each other on the field or in the locker room or even in the workplace, and quickly gt over it. Women don't. We remember those words and take them much closer to heart than we want to admit. While we can't control what men will say about us, we sure can do something about our own behavior. There's just nothing to be gained from calling our sisters degrading names, even when we attach the "just kidding" to the end of it.
