Good gracious.
My sister-mother (we called them pledge moms, informally) dropped out of college after her sophomore/my freshman year in 1971. I haven't seen or heard from her since I went to her wedding in 1973. Nor have I seen or heard from my sis-grandmom since I went to her wedding in 1971.
OTOH I have three pledge daughters (or sister-daughters). I have kept in touch with the biological mother of the first, and thus tangentially in touch with her. [They lived in town, so I got to know the whole family. Ironically their third daughter--an ADPi-- lives five miles from where I now live, though we haven't ever gotten together.] I've resumed an e-relationship with the second; she is the webmistress for the St. Louis alumnae club. I hear from the third at Christmas time.
My pledge buddy (pledged same night, initiated same day, sat next to each other in Chapter all those years) came from a great family and I am in contact with the sis-mom and sis-grandma, as well as my buddy, still.
