From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Social, traditional, or collegiate sororities, in the North American fraternal system, are those that do not promote a particular profession, as professional fraternities do, or discipline, such as service fraternities and sororities. Instead, their primary purposes are often stated as the development of character, literary or leadership ability, or to serve a more simple social purpose. A fraternity is usually understood to mean a social organization composed only of men, and a sorority is composed of women. However, many women's organizations and co-ed organizations also refer to themselves as women's fraternities.

This list of North American collegiate sororities and women's fraternities is not exhaustive. It includes only social collegiate organizations; other types of social fraternal organizations can be found under the list of general fraternities. Cultural interest sororities can be found in cultural interest fraternities and sororities. Men's and co-educational fraternities are listed in Lists of social fraternities.

Some organizations in this list have a specific major listed as a traditional emphasis. These organizations are social organizations that cater to students in those majors. Other listed fraternities have a traditional emphasis on a specific religion or ethnic background but are primarily social in function.
