Therefore, in the case of Gamma Phi Beta, it makes it even less likely that the word "sorority" referred to having had a man's help.

In spite of the slight hoohah we've caused, I do find everyone's contributions to the topic to be interesting.

Society? Wow, didn't know that!

Just in case anyone wants to read recent Gamma Phi/SK talk (and possibly take this discussion elsewhere so we don't further derail poor Scandia's AI thread). It's funny how this women's fraternity/sorority talk has been going on for years.

[If it means anything, I posted a link in that thread to another thread. A lot of posts went missing in that thread so that's why some of the discussion doesn't make any sense]

Cool...thanks OTW! In that thread you just posted, I saw that one of my sisters also mentioned that we were a "society" first. I didn't mean to derail Scandia's thread - I don't get wound up too often and I guess this was one of those ocassions.
