'Intersororal'. All knowing Google was stumped. Can the wordsmith help?
Sororal means 'by one's sister, on one's sister's side', what ever that means. Intersororal would then mean something like 'within a group of sisters'.
do not american universities have female clubs called sororities? Perhaps the word intersororal referes to something happening involving more than one such group.

link does this mean i guessed correct?
There is also intrasororal 'amongst sisters/sorority members'. The flip sides are interfraternal and intrafraternal 'between etc.'.
[Fixed egregious error made at some unholy time in the mornign before coffee.]
I thought that inter- was between groups and intra- was within a group.
Looks to me like you guessed right, Latisha!

Yes, you're right. I got them flipped. I'll fix it.
(Doesn't happen that often linguistically.)
