I was interviewing for residency my senior year of medical school, and our medical school sponsors a "host" program where med school alums offer a place to stay for students interviewing in their area. I was on my 3rd week of being away from home, sick of living out of my suitcase, and missing my husband like crazy. I went to Tucson and showed up at the alum's house that I was going to stay at. I was sort of nervous about staying with people I didn't even know, but I was also sick to death of hotels and terribly lonely! Turns out that the wife of the alum was a Pi Phi from my hometown! She was a wonderful hostess, and we had a great time swapping Pi Phi stories. It sure was nice to find a sister so far from home....
