The priorities may gradually reverse. As an alumna, you'll find sisterhood comes in many forms.
Absolutely true, this. I have "sisters" who wear different letters. Where would I be without those women in my life? We share a common bond, regardless of our letters; I get the most support and satisfaction from the Tucson Alumnae Panhellenic meetings (which are a RIOT!), and have expanded my circle of GLO sisters through that organization.

Yes, I understand that in college it is "different", but wow - if I'd walked away from Theta, I'd have missed out on years of fun and support. Recently I renewed an "acquaintance" with a pledge sister who resigned her membership senior year, and she still regrets it to this day. Sad.
