From some stuff I have been reading I felt it necessary to post some quotes about sisters. I came from a family and had no sisters until I was introduced to Alpha Sigma Tau. I will not lie and say it was all fun and games but I have learned alot about myself and others from my sisters and would not trade them for anything in the world. So here are some positive quotes about sisters to remind us all of what we have and how to write nice things about them for the public to see since apparently now we have to impress those people who know nothing about us and only like to see one side of a story...
"The desire to be and have a sister is a primitive and profound one that may have everything or nothing to do with the family a woman is born to. It is a desire to know and be known by someone who shares blood and body, history and dreams . . ."
Elizabeth Fishel
"My sisters have taught me how to live."
George Wasserstein
"Sisters is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship."
Margaret Meed
"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there."
Amy Li
"Sisters are connected throughout their lives by a special bond... whether they try to ignore it or not. For better or for worse, sisters remain sisters, until death do them part."
Brigid McConville
from "Sisters: Love and Conflict Within The Lifelong Bond"
"Sisters examine each other so they can have a map for how they should behave."
Michael D. Kahn
"If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child."
Linda Sunshine
"Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks... expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs... that can undermine any tale you're telling."
Pam Brown
"We are more than just acquaintances... it's as if we are cut from the same fabric. Even though we appear to be sewn in a different pattern, we have a common thread that won't be broken-by people or years or distance."

"A sister is one of the nicest things
that can happen to anyone.
She is someone to laugh with and share with,
to work with and join in the fun.
She is someone who helps in the rough times
and knows when you need a warm smile.
She is someone who will quietly listen
when you just want to talk for awhile.
A sister is dear to you always,
for she is someone who is always a part
of all the favorite memories
that you keep very close to your heart."
