HELP! I want to start this sorority, but does it already exist?

Slight hijack, but this sounds similar to the situation that Gamma Sigma Sigma National Service Sorority and Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity has, as they both are now co-ed. I only know of one male member of GSS, and he is referred to as a "male member", but in my personal experience, female members of APO (which is much much more common) are referred to as "brothers".

Just for the record, Phi Mu Alpha is not a band service fraternity; it's a social fraternity. KKPsi and TBS are the only band service fraternities with which I'm familiar.

Every time I see someone call Phi Mu Alpha anything other than a social fraternity, I just shake my head an wonder when you're going to pop up and educate them!

I know. I'm a broken record on the subject.
