This is the time of year when everyone sits at their parent's house in their HS bedroom overthinking everything. Go back to school and give your sisters another chance. No, living in the house is not always paradise but don't let it color your view of the whole sorority if you feel you really have made some true friends.

This is good advice.
Also, young women use "stalker" these days to mean "guy who liked too many of my posts on facebook" or "guy who tried to catch up with me after math class to ask a stupid question" or "guy behaving in a manner that wouldn't bother me at all if I were actually attracted to him".
Unfortunately, because of this, telling your sisters that you were being stalked may not have resonated with them the way it should have, and they may not have realized that you were going through a really emotional time if you didn't share the details. It's a really tough thing that you dealt with, and a lot of people probably didn't understand. Even the ones who did may not have had any idea of how to react or to best offer you help.
