NPC: Which are Women's Fraternities? (looking for list in one place)

Does anyone know of a handy place to see which members of the NPC are women's fraternities and which are sororities (by their internal descriptions). The closest that I've seen to a list in one place is http://mjsorority.com/about-us/who-to-contact/ which is for insurance. I realize that I can go through all 26 pages on Wikipedia, but I'd prefer something in one place .

Thank you for this fascinating history. I knew that Gamma Phi Beta was linked to using "sorority" first as part of their early years, great to see the details.

Much closer than anything else I've seen, but sort of wish there had been a paragraph explicilisting the WF/FfW. (which I know is the NPC membership minus those listed in the Sorority list)

Kappa Delta's original charter was as a women's fraternity.
At some point in our early history it was changed to sorority.
Not for sure why it was changed.

Do you have access to a copy of Ordinary Miracles? I think it was explained in there. Unfortunately, my copy is with 99%of everything I own in a storage unit and I don't have access to it right now.

Thanx.

"Of the 26 NPC organizations, more than half are officially a women’s fraternity or a fraternity for women. Those officially a sorority are: Alpha Delta Pi; Alpha Epsilon Phi; Alpha Sigma Alpha; Alpha Sigma Tau; Delta Phi Epsilon; Delta Zeta; Gamma Phi Beta; Kappa Delta; Sigma Delta Tau; Sigma Kappa; and Sigma Sigma Sigma."

Now, I'm wonder which of the remaining are women's fraternity and which are fraternity for women.

I don't think it really matters. Pi Phi had used Women's Fraternity for more than a century and at one point, maybe in a rebranding, but even I am not sure, began using Fraternity for Women.
