i don't think sororitas is a latin word. the word soror means "sister" in latin, as frater means "brother". (mater is mom and pater is dad for those of you who are dying to know!!) (yes, i'm a latin geek and almost a major in college!)

sororitas is not even a case in latin. soror, however, is a latin word.
