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

No not talking about the university Greek system. Just the general concept of brotherhood/sisterhood as also used by unions, secret societies etc.

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

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.

When I was a member of Alpha Delta Phi in college we called it a "Coed Fraternity" but the organization now refers to itself as a "gender inclusive literary society" adps.org. Also there is at least one Women's Fraternity, Kappa Alpha Theta.
