Then they went back to talking to each other. Pretty nice, especially considering that for years before that, that sorority never had anyone present for bid matching, so an extra alum or national visitor from KD had occasionally handled their list.

I guess I don't get that (behavior). From my viewpoint, yes we may be in different houses but 1. we are all greek and 2. we are all NPC sisters together. While we were all founded at different times and schools, I believe that overall the underlying principals of our respective sororities are generally the same.

I had friends in high school and as soon as we started college and went different houses it was like we couldn't be friends anymore, which I thought (and still think) is kind of lame.
