Blueangel, it is possible those chapters have "borrowed" from each other some incorrect information. Gamma Phi Beta has no "brother" fraternity, no affiliation with any men's organization whatsoever, and it never did. The term "sorority" was coined especially for Gamma Phi Beta because the term "fraternity" was not accurate. Since we are a sisterhood, not brotherhood, a professor came up with the term sorority to more accurately reflect our organization. Some women's organizations established before us chose to keep "fraternity" in their name, probably because of tradition (though I could be totally wrong about this as the reason), and some decided to call themselves fraternities even after our founding.

The term "sorority" has nothing to do with affiliation to a men's organization.
