“Sable Cleveland (Beta Zeta-South Carolina) and I go way back—to elementary school, believe it or not!” said Holly Jones (Epsilon Tau-Clemson), laughing as she pointed out a photo from their fourth-grade class. “We didn’t even realize we were in the same class until just recently!” Though they attended the same elementary, middle and high schools, Sable and Holly didn’t reconnect until Sable moved back to Greenville post-law school. “It’s funny how things work out,” Holly added. “We weren’t close in school, but when we both ended up in KD, it showed how aligned our values were—even when we didn’t know it.” Their bond continued to grow after college, when they both found themselves actively involved in Kappa Delta as alumnae, serving together on an alumnae chapter executive board and as part of the Epsilon Tau advisory board for recruitment. “It’s tough making new friends as adults,” Sable admitted, “but we have each other—and a shared love for reading, Love Island and all things pop culture.” Now, their friendship is stronger than ever, rooted not only in shared history but also in a commitment to the sorority. “It’s wild to think how we started out in the same fourth-grade class, and now we’re navigating life together as adults,” Holly said. “We might have taken different paths, but Kappa Delta brought us back together.” Throughout September, we are sharing stories of Kappa Delta friendship in celebration of International Women’s Friendship Month — stories about you and your unique friendships and why those friendships are so important. #IWFM
