It should also be noted that no NPC sorority has an official affiliation with a men's organization, despite what some members think.

The term "sorority" was coined especially for Gamma Phi Beta because the term "fraternity" was not accurate. Since we are a sisterhood, not brotherhood, a professor came up with the term sorority to more accurately reflect our organization. Some women's organizations established before us chose to keep "fraternity" in their name, probably because of tradition (though I could be totally wrong about this as the reason), and some decided to call themselves fraternities even after our founding.

What's interesting is that Alpha Gamma Delta was founded on the same campus 30 years later, but took on the name "Women's Fraternity." I wonder if they did so because they didn't want to "steal" the term created especially for the Gamma Phis...?
