I doubt you will get it changed.

There are lots of fraternities for women: Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Phi Mu, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, Zeta Tau Alpha, Delta Gamma, Alpha Omicron Pi and Chi Omega are all officially called "fraternities," as are other women's GLOs that don't come to mind right now. They all are very careful to refer to themselves as "Fraternities" (although I can't say that I've ever heard a member of one of the groups refer to a "fraternity sister").

But, when catagorizing GLOs as men's or women's, common parlance is to say "fraternity" and "sorority," regardless of whether the GLO in question actually calls itself a fraternity or a sororirity (or a "society" as a few do). The fact is that anyone looking for SAI -- except perhaps for a member of SAI -- who knows that SAI is a GLO for women is going to look for it under a list of sororities, because they would expect only men's groups to be listed under "fraternities." Same for the other GLOs listed above.

Unless you can get the managers to break the catagories up into "Men's Fraternities," "Women's Fraternities," "Sororities," etc., I wouldn't look for things to change. Sorry.
