Our chapter explained it as tradition. After women were allowed to join officially, certain terms remained the same. "Brother" is one of them. Think of it as a reference to the brotherhood of mankind and women are a part of that.

It made sense to me and I never really questioned it. Like 33, if I was refered to as a sister of Alpha Phi Omega, it wouldn't seem right. It's something that just is.
