I honestly could care less what they call themselves.
But imagine if all orgs started calling themselves a sorority:
MADD Sorority
Girl Scouts Sorority
NOW Sorority
NCNW Sorority
Junior League Sorority

I think you make an interesting point. What makes a sorority? What unique qualities should be in place for an organization to consider themselves a sorority?
My guess is that because they wanted a sisterhood. They wanted to say that we are more than just members of the same organization, but we are sisters. I was a Girl Scout. Even worked for them for a while, but when I meet another former Girl Scout I don't really feel any particular connection to her. Same thing with the NAACP. But I have a strong sisterhood in Spelman. When I meet another Spelman woman I feel an immediate kinship with her because of our shared sisterhood.
