My sorority is known as Alpha Xi Delta National Fraternity. That does not in any way make us "brothers" of our fraternity. Fraternity is just a word, and defined by the dictionary as "a body of people associated for a common purpose or interest, such as a guild." Where does that mention that it is chiefly male or that the members are known as "brothers" or "sisters?"
If you have such a problem with this, why did you join KKPsi to begin with? [/B]

For what it's worth, my Tau Beta Sigma shingle has "Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary <b>Fraternity</b>" on it.
Both organizations are officially fraternities.
The terms sister and brother are used loosely in our chapter... the guys in TBS go with what they're comfortable with.
