are you a fraternity, or a sorority?

I'm trying to find out what women's (or co-ed) GLO's call themselves a "fraternity" as opposed to a "sorority". Anybody want to chime in???

We are Officially the Chi Omega Fraternity. I think the word sorority was coined by Gamma Phi Beta when they were founded although I'm not sure what their official name is.

Pi Beta Phi is also a fraternity for women. The word sorority did not exist when many groups were founded, thus they called themselves fraternity.

Our legal name is Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity, Inc. and we only use "Inc." when it is legally required. We also do not use the term "international" in our name even though we have chapters in another country.
