I've never run across a mention of the use of the word "sorority" for auxillary groups while reading about fraternity history - does anyone know of one? My knowledge of fraternity history is hardly comprehensive, so I'd really like to know. I thought little sister groups were more of a 20th century thing - especially since there were so few women attending college at all in the 19th century.

please don't take my comments as verbatim. i was just speculating what those womens organizations affiliated with fraternities in the olden days could have been. i do not know what they actually were, but thought that the nearest thing we might have(or have had) would be little sister groups.

We're not questioning YOU, we're just questioning in general.
