Definition
Organizations whose members are college/university women who share common ideals and interests. Social sororities offer an environment for social living; provide opportunities for involvement in campus and community life; sponsor a wide variety of parties and other social functions; and promote academic excellence, leadership, community service, social development, sisterhood and friendship among members. Membership is by invitation and students must have good academic standing (i.e., cannot be on probation) in order to pledge and become initiated. Also included are alumni chapters of sororities and their activities.
