Sororities

Sororities began to develop in 1851 with the formation of the Adelphean Society Alpha Delta Pi, though fraternity-like organizations for women didn't take their current form until the establishment of Pi Beta Phi in 1867 and Kappa Alpha Theta in 1870.

The term "sorority" was invented by a professor of Latin who felt the word "fraternity" was inappropriate for a group of ladies.

The first organization to use the term "sorority" was Gamma Phi Beta, established in 1874. The development of "fraternities for women" during this time was a major accomplishment in the way of women's rights and equality.

By mere existence, these organizations were defying the odds; the founding women were able to advance their organizations despite many factors working against them.

The first "Women's Fraternities" not only had to overcome "restrictive social customs, unequal status under the law and the underlying presumption that they were less able than men," but at the same time had to deal with the same challenges as fraternities with college administrations.

Today, both social and multicultural sororities are present on more than 650 college campuses across the United States and Canada.

The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) serves as the "umbrella organization" for 26 (inter)national sororities.

Founded in 1902, the NPC is one of the oldest and largest women's membership organizations, representing more than 4 million women at 655 college/university campuses and 4,500 local alumnae chapters in the U.S. and Canada
