Soror should not be capitalized unless it is used as a prefix.

I hope Soror Smith is having a good Founders day.

I hope all sorors are having good Founders days.

Per the former long-time communications specialist at HQ. She is also the one who gave the explanation for no apostrophe in Founders that DSTRen so eloquently stated a year ago. It is descriptive of the day.

I think we discussed this a few years back, but this is one of those things that varies from group to group. For some groups it's Founders Day, while others use Founders' Day. For us, per our Constitution, it's actually Founder's Day. I try to keep up with the preferences of each group when I'm wishing folks a "Happy Founder__ Day," but I fear I fail more than I succeed.

(And yes, DSTRen's explanation is good.)
