What It Is Like To See Your Pledge Sister After Months Apart

During the second semester of my junior year of college, one of my best friends, my college roomie, my pledge sister, Jemma, accepted an amazing internship in Washington D.C. (we all knew she was destined to do great things).

She has more or less been down in the nation’s capital ever since.

While I have seen her a handful of times since then, speak to her often, and of course like  her occasional post on social media, she made an unexpected visit this past weekend and I made sure that I was able to see her (despite working an 8 and half hour shift at my part time job before hand).

After months apart, following the paths of our own lives, It was great to see her and celebrity where who we were, who we became, and where we have ended up thus far. Perhaps more importantly, it was nice to confirm that distance has not diminished our friendship but instead further solidified it.

Quite honestly, it was like she never left thus confirming that our friendship despite our busy schedules, fast past lives, and different careers can survive the test of time.

With the spring semester in full swing at this point, many sorority women are preparing to graduate --- this in general is a scary thought.


However, while the future can be uncertain, the lasting friendships that were fostered during your sorority years will live on with you forever. Jemma and I are just one example.
