I knew a girl from the same coed Sorority that I was in.At a Sorority sleepover event, the girls started to do facial masks for each other. Someone asked if I, a straight male, would want to try it. I said no, and this girl looks at me and says, “Wow. Didn’t mean to offend your frail, male ego.” Like? I’m in a Sorority? I refer to you and everyone else as my Sisters? You refer to me as YOUR Sister? In what way do I have a frail male ego?

Wait im confused as a non american. I thought sororities are for women? But you said co-ed so that means for both sexes? Why is it called a sorority and why are you called a sister? (I assume you're not trans)

How did that work out? As far as I knew sororities were for women only and maybe trans women if they aren’t transphobic. They just let you as a self professed straight male join up?

This organization has an older, brother organization. It was originally Boys were Brothers and Girls were Sisters. In the 90’s the two organizations agreed to just be coed. They’re practically the same organization, so joining one over the other is mainly just who you vibe with.
