Non-college sorority?

[Dredogg99]

I am Active Duty in the United States Air Force...and I was wondering if anyone knew of a policy somewhere that dictated whether or not a sorority can be started and affiliated with the military?!?! And also, I was wondering if a sorority can be started, even though it would not be related to college. Our purpose would be to better our community for volunteering, while at the same time coming together with friends. Please help.....

I thought that the military had rules about sororities/fraternities. I can't see them being thrilled with active duty members joining something like that. I know there are internal organizations (at least ROTC had elite orgs on our campus) but I don't think the military academies allow them for a reason.
