We always cross-rushed a lot of the same girls as one of the other sororities on my campus and had a big rivalry with them, probably because we were so similar and had friends in common. Well one night, one of my sisters and her fiance were in a car wreck. He was killed and our sister was very badly injured. Our "rivals" were the first ones to send us flowers and offer to do anything they could for us. Every time they, or any other sorority, made me a little nuts in subsequent years I thought about that. You may be scrapping with each other on the surface but when it comes down to it, you are all in a big family and you're there for each other.
