NPC: Which are Women's Fraternities? (looking for list in one place)
Does anyone know of a handy place to see which members of the NPC are women's fraternities and which are sororities (by their internal descriptions). The closest that I've seen to a list in one place is http://mjsorority.com/about-us/who-to-contact/ which is for insurance. I realize that I can go through all 26 pages on Wikipedia, but I'd prefer something in one place .

Kappa Delta's original charter was as a women's fraternity.
At some point in our early history it was changed to sorority.
Not for sure why it was changed.

Do you have access to a copy of Ordinary Miracles? I think it was explained in there. Unfortunately, my copy is with 99%of everything I own in a storage unit and I don't have access to it right now.

Now, I'm wonder which of the remaining are women's fraternity and which are fraternity for women.

I don't think it really matters. Pi Phi had used Women's Fraternity for more than a century and at one point, maybe in a rebranding, but even I am not sure, began using Fraternity for Women.
