My mouth and the mouth of my SororZ and LS'Z DROPPED!  It's just unheard of here to call a fellow greek sister Soror unless you are in the same org.
I didn't get a chance to ask her if she was from another region, but I do wonder if anyone has had similar experiences. Maybe in a diff region, all greeks refer to each other as frat and soror.
Am I mistaken? What do YOU call women of another organization? 
I know here in ATL we say Sistergreek, or just Greek. |
Yes, I agree with Dr. Phil. It's more of an NPHC Alumnae thing among SOME who are really involved in NPHC activities in their local NPHC chapter or who hold office in these chapters. I've also heard of this among our regional and national officers, including the presidents (the leadership).
I think it's safe to say that most members (no matter the region) do not refer to members of other NPHC organizations as frat or soror. I'm from the Northeast and mostly we say sistergreek. Personally, I wouldn't be highly offended if a sistergreek called me soror because I know where that comes from but only my sorority sisters are my sorors.
