I thought I'd put together a list of non-collegiate sororities.
To be on this list an organization meets these criteria:
* must have more than one chapter in more than one city, town, or community (therefore is not a local)
* may not be part of NPC, NPHC, or MCGLO (multi-cultural Greek-letter org. e.g. Hispanic, Asian, mixed)
* is not affiliated with a fraternal organization (e.g. Eastern Star/Masons, Rebekahs/Odd Fellows)
* its chapters are community based; there may be collegiate chapters but the emphasis on on the community chapters
* its members are adult women, generally out-of-school
* its membership is by invitation
* it has a ritual and secret work known only to members

There are many women's organizations that provide networking, lifetime friendships, opportunities for action and involvement in the community or nationally, and tremendous civic service. In the large sense of "sorority" or "sisterhood," these qualify. But I'm narrowing it down to the "special circle," those who are invited to share a particular sisterhood. I think you all get it....
Are there others to add to this list?
