DIONYSOS (or Dionysus) was the great Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure and festivity.
He was depicted as either an older bearded god or a pretty effeminate, long-haired youth. His attributes included the thyrsos (a pine-cone tipped staff), drinking cup, leopard and fruiting vine. He was usually accompanied by a troop of Satyrs and Mainades (female devotees or nymphs).
The most famous myths of Dionysos include:
The instruction of Ikarios in winemaking.
His love for Ariadne who he found abandoned on the island of Naxos and made his wife.
So with this in mind I thought perhaps -
Followers of Ariadne or The Ariadnians.
Alternatively, especially as it is an all female club -
The Mainades of Dionysus, one could also drop the 'The'.
Bacchus, the Roman God of wine, has already had his name pinched by the Oxford University Wine Society.
Hope this helps and happy tippling.
