My sisters rock! We still WATCH for each other.
SisMadly was making sure I was okay after I had my first asthma attack in CENTURIES. It was all good, NOTHING would keep me from seeing Duran Duran.
Besides, I was NOT about to go to the nearest hospital. Mr. 1228's ex-wife works there 
They wanted to make sure that I got to my subway station and car okay (the 'hood where I parked my car is NOT one of the best). I called as soon as I got in my car so they wouldn't worry. (Sismadly wanted me to call Mr. 1228)
I have had wonderful times with my Alpha Phi sisters. Meetings, shopping. Trips to Whistler and to the PNE. The Duran Duran concert. (I am still hoarse today)
I don't get to see the sisters in my area enough (the GC sisters are SisMadly, Ariesrising, and YogiPhi). But I gotta tell you, my Alpha Phi sisters (the ones I met and the ones I haven't) are
MUCH closer to me than my bio sister.
There are sometimes every sister needs to "check herself". They let me know when I need to be and to take it like a woman!
It is done out of love and not criticism (like my bio sister). I have a bad habit of taking stuff personally and they are helping me kill that habit.
They are accepting of me. They help me learn and are willing to answer questions. I feel like I can approach them and talk to them about anything. My Alpha Phi sisters got my back.
OK I am rambling, but the bottom line is you all rock and I am forever grateful.
