Sisterhood and Brotherhood

Sisterhood and brotherhood means more than wearing Greek letters, attending meetings, and going to parties. It is a feeling and sense of belonging. It is a feeling of being yourself and liking who you are and what you have become. It means that you have found a place of your own, which you can call a home away from home. More importantly, sisterhood and brotherhood is the making of friendships that will last a lifetime. It is the feeling of knowing you can count on your sisters and brothers in good times and in bad. Sisterhood and brotherhood means joining a group of women or men in love and friendship, and a striving for similar goals that draw sisters and brothers together as one strong unit. They become sisters or brothers by chance, friends by choice.
