How do you explain a sorority to someone from another country?

[lyrica9]

When I studied abroad I explained it as a secret society. I found out that my Spanish prior to arriving in Spain was so bad that my host mom thought I lived in an orphanage from the explanation on my introduction letter. Her daughter had spent two years at a high school in the US and told her a lot of poor stereotypes of greeks. I think she figured it out eventually. :-)
