There were quite a few times when I was a collegiate when sisters were there for me when I needed it.

One that really comes to mind for me is when we went to CSU Bakersfield for Division Conference. We drove up from LA the night before and stopped at a convenience store for a quick bite to eat. Little did I know that the Hot Dog I got was going to give me food poisioning.

Right as the conference started I became really ill. I knew something was completely wrong with me since I had never ever been like that before. Sisters i didn't even know volunteered to drive me to the local hospital with no thought that I couldn't stop vomiting. I had one of my chapter sisters, Ana, drive me to the hospital instead and told everyone else to go ahead and try to enjoy themselves. I was at the hospital for quite a while with Ana sitting with me. Every so often the others would call or come by. Finally after being given meds Ana drove me on the long trip back to LA. For the next week or so I got calls from sisters checking on me and seeing if i needed anything, not only sisters from my chapter but sisters i didn't know from the other chapters.

That touched me a lot and just reinforced the happiness I felt in joining Phi Sigma Sigma.
