Do you guys know where the word Fraternity or sorority came from? This is what my chapter has found (its on our web page now
http://www.bsu.edu/web/theta/Intropage/introlinks.htm)
Fraternity comes from the Latin word fraternitas, that describes a feeling of love between two brothers. Its abstract interpretation is basically deep friendship between people, male or female. Since there is no such word as sorority' s, obviously we're a fraternity . . . for women. The word sorority was adopted in 1882 from the Latin sorer, meaning sister.
Has anyone else heard any other story?
