What is a "sorority"?

A sorority is a social organization for women, typically found in colleges or universities, where members form a close-knit group for friendship, support, and shared experiences. Sororities often have specific traditions, events, and activities, and members may engage in academic, social, and charity projects together. Joining a sorority usually involves a recruitment process, where potential members are selected based on mutual interests and values. Sororities offer a sense of community and often provide networking opportunities, both during and after college.
