Just like fraternity comes from the Latin word 'frater' which means 'brother', sorority comes from the Latin word 'soror' which means 'sister'.

Frater in turn is derived from the Ancient Greek Phrater which means something like family. That is why there are Women's Fraternities founded after the coining of the word sorority by Gamma Phi Beta. They are just using the Greek meaning of teh word rather then the Latin one.
