I've noticed that there is way more of a problem with pledge/NM/alpha/whatever classes being cliquey than with families being cliquey. If anything, it encourages sisters of all ages to be close.

I felt isolated from my NM class, so I bonded with my big and the rest of my extended family, who I felt were much more similar to me. I haven't seen my big in a while, since she graduated two years ago, but we were very close when we were both actives. I am extremely close with my little, grandlittle and great grandlittle.
