hey trojangirl-
well, according to this entry, sororitas means sisterhood, not sister.
i have to ask my best friend, who just got her masters in medieval history and speaks latin as well, what the difference between traditional latin and medieval latin is. according to that entry, sororitas is medieval and only based on the original latin. so i think i am right that sororitas is not an actual latin case term. i will find out though!
take care
