Evolution
Soronian may have started out as a literary society, but they are now a sorority. The article should be changed to reflect this, as leaving it as a "literary society" makes it sound like they're a reading club and not a full-blown sisterhood. (comment not dated nor signed)
False Claims
Soronian is known as the oldest inter-collegiate sorority in the United States of America. It was reorganized in 1868 as a sorority, which would place them 4th on The Wikipedia page List of social fraternities and sororities.
Soronian was the first literary society in the United States and possibly the world. Decisively false claim. The first collegiate literary societies were founded nearly a century before, and can trace their lineage to literary salons in the middle east, which are far older. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.55.251.96 (talk) 13:42, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
