I'm afraid neither of those words exist. We do have "sororat" (a system in which when a woman dies, her husband takes her younger sister as wife automatically. I wonder what kind of society uses such a system...) and an adjective "sororal": "relative to sisters", but no *sororité, though it has probably been coined by some feminists and been forgotten since then :) .
