Berkeley drops words to be inclusive, including 'fraternities' and 'sororities'

Quote:
There will be no manholes in Berkeley, California. City workers will drop into "maintenance holes" instead.
Nothing will be manmade in the liberal city but "human-made." And students at the University of California, Berkeley, will join "collegiate Greek system residences" rather than fraternities and sororities.
Berkeley leaders voted unanimously this week to replace about 40 gender-specific words in the city code with gender-neutral terms — an effort to be more inclusive that's drawing both praise and scorn.
