Exactly. I'm not sure we (NPC groups as a whole) do a very good job of communicating the idea that sisterhood doesn't just happen because you put on a t-shirt. You have to work at it. It's through doing things together, experiencing traditions together and working together that sisterhood is formed and cemented.
