Just like fraternity comes from the Latin word 'frater' which means 'brother', sorority comes from the Latin word 'soror' which means 'sister'. |
Frater in turn is derived from the Ancient Greek Phrater which means something like family. That is why there are Women's Fraternities founded after the coining of the word sorority by Gamma Phi Beta. They are just using the Greek meaning of teh word rather then the Latin one.

im not sure if this has been said already, but i live and go to school in the state of Nevada, where brothels are a legal thing, and if your sorority house holds more than 12 girls, you legally have to have a house mother.. which is essentially your madame. I know that is NV law.. but im not sure about any other states.

You need to get yourself to the UNR Law Library, since that isn't how the law works for the locations of brothels/legal prostitution in Nevada. Reno is in Washoe County, and that, as well as Clark County (Las Vegas), are at least two of the counties where prostitution is not legal. Therefore, there are no laws relating to brothels or prostitution and sorority houses at either UNLV or UNR, but there are laws about unrelated relatives living together and zoning.

So in other words all the girls that live in or go to school in your state are whores? How much do you charge? Is it extra to go in the back door?

Ohhhh right. "There are no brothel laws relating to sorority houses in any state" actually means "There are no brothel laws relating to sorority houses in any state but Nevada."
How silly of us to forget that.

LOL @ this thread being 10 pages of people saying "but MY school really does have a brothel law" and people saying it's fake. Then the same people saying "but MY school is special."

Yes but I was impressed to see someone from Nevada since it was like an entirely different perspective on the "My school REALLY DOES have a brothel law" thing. You know, just for a change of pace.

Rumors of my death were greatly under-reported.
Well I'm finished with my last clinical internship on Friday, and all I have left is a thesis. However I'm looking at not being able to pay rent by June if I don't get hired like... tomorrow. I have high hopes for a grant-funded position I applied for but no idea how fast the position will get filled. And I have a hope of some part time relief RA work at the residential facility at my current agency but that's not steady either so... yeah.
Mostly good, but the stress is rolling on in.
