Why a fraternity instead of a sorority?
Ceres branched out of FarmHouse so the founders wanted to keep some of those ties and therefore kept the fraternal name. Merriam-Webster defines fraternity as 1: a group of people associated or formally organized for a common purpose, interest, or pleasure: as a: a fraternal order and d: a student organization for scholastic, professional, or extracurricular activities Sorority is defined as a women’s student organization formed chiefly for social purposes and having a name consisting of Greek letters. The goals of Ceres are much broader than just a social organization. Most sororities are actual have fraternity in their name they are just called sororities.
