And we're not the only one....

And there are like 25,068 threads on this board explaining why that is not an entirely accurate statement for ZTA to make but I'm not going to show you any of them because you will throw a temper tantrum.

Reader's Digest Condensed version - early women's GLOs were called "women's fraternities" - hence all those GLOs formed prior to 1874 are fraternities. The term "sorority" was coined for Gamma Phi Beta upon the founding of the Beta chapter. Since then, some GLOs have chosen to use the term "sorority", and some "fraternity". Gamma Phi Beta's founding had NOTHING to do with any men's fraternity. HTH.

Back on topic - congratulations Scandia!
