How do you respond....

[Wonderful1908]

We called Alphas frat and they called us sorors, I work with an Alpha and he calls me soror and I call him frat, thats how it was at my HBCU.

We also usually in Pan-Hel meeting would refer to people in other organizations as soror in the third person.

I don't understand... Soror, can you give an example?

Hey, how are doing? I was responding to one of my Eastern Star Sistars, I thought it would have showed it. I was saying that I never heard of a Eastern Star sister calling a member of a sorority a soror. We don't even call each other sorors.

Hmm for example the national president of Zeta Phi Beta worked on our campus whenI was in school, so if we were in Pan-hel meeting we might say their president "Soror Carpenter", maybe it was just SU? We did not use it often but sometimes in cases like that we would.

I am often called "Soror" by Alphas, and I don't mind it at all.
