There is a saying...
I have heard other people say something like "I didn't become an ABC, it's something I have always been". I too felt that sentiment when I pledged AXiD, and realized this even moreso once I was initiated and learned more about our history and story.
Not that it matters, I know that some people might say that it sounds corny. Still, I want to hear from people who felt that way, and still "live the ritual", without trying to, even after graduating and being in the "real world."
I find myself reconnecting with sisters many years later, and if I met them today, I would probably feel that same familiarity, that same intangible commonality, that I felt then. It's hard to explain.
