sorority sister

Fraternal female member

A sorority sister is a fellow member of one's sorority—a social organization for women at American colleges and universities.

Members share Greek letters, rituals, and often housing during their college years.

The bond implies lifelong connection: My sorority sisters flew in from three states for my wedding.

The term emphasizes the quasi-familial relationship these organizations cultivate.
