Sorry KappaStar, see CutiePie's answer for the correct info.

Does anyone else find it odd that out of the 26 groups in the NPC only 9 are called sorority ?

I just hope to one day get a clear answer to why Sigma Kappa was never a fraternity but yet still isn't the first sorority even though we are two days older than Gamma Phi Beta!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Prof that suggested GPhiB use sorority, the same guy that told Alpha Phi to pronounce Phi like fee?
