I couldn't agree more, OPDPrez. It's all about the bond between the sisters. The symbols that you share, even the ritual itself -- they are really there just to build the bond that you describe. And like birth sisters, you don't have to be best friends with every one of your sorority sisters. But when the chips are down you know you can depend on your sisters because there is this... indescribable something ... that ties you all together.
When I joined OPhiA in college, I could have easily found an outlet to do community service in any of a number of other great college organizations that were active on my campus. But I wanted the sisterhood part, too, and I found it. Honestly, at that point I wasn't thinking about the lifetime aspect of membership --- that was just a bonus that I really learned to appreciate after I graduated.
Great thread topic!
