This is unrelated, but when I was a new member, there was a new member who really had her heart set on a certain woman to be her sister-mother. It didn't work out, and the person she was matched with didn't want her, either. They both cried on sister-mother night. Their pictures are awful - sulking etc.
Things got better through the course of her new member period, and at initiation, they still weren't besties but they had grown quite fond of one another. Things got better still until the time the sister-mother graduated from college and got engaged.
By the time the wedding rolled around, the sister-daughter was in her sister-mother's wedding party, and could not be happier for one of the closest friends she made in college.
I guess the point is that things don't always work out the way you'd like (neither of these women had the other on "her list"). If you put in an effort, it might be one of the most valuable things you can get out of sisterhood.
