I met Erica at summer camp at Duke University in 1995, the summer we turned 14 (I'm now 20). We were inseperable for those two weeks and kept in touch until camp the next year, and then spent high school trying to figure out when we could visit each other (I lived in South Carolina, she lived in St. Louis). I surprised her at her high school graduation, and this summer she drove cross country with me on the Mother of All Road Trips. She's like my sister... it's the most amazing relationship.
A cool thing... I pledged my freshman year and she didn't really understand... but on our road trip this summer I got to explain to her what the sorority really means to me, and although she kept saying, "I don't think it's for me," and "I just don't like girls that much," she wasn't as contentious about Greek Life as she had been before. Welllll..... she is now a founding sister of St. Louis University's Delta Gamma Colony!!! So I helped bring one more into the fold
