Is there a gender neutral term for fraternity+sorority? Maybe siblingtry if one doesn’t exist?

Along with maternity and paternity these are all Latin words for family members, so the gender neutral would be a familiaty. Society probs better.

Fam
Fictive kinship group is indeed what I’m getting at here so ‘society’ would be a couple of abstraction levels too high. Even tribe would be too high.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

I live in such a group - “housemate” ain’t cutting it. We sometimes use “chosen family” and recently thanks to the book “A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet” sometimes say “feather family”. +1 to squad as a contender.

Perhaps we can repurpose kin. Or maybe kith, which includes friends.
