What Happened to My Sister

I'm so sick of that crap.

I've been putting up with that for way too.

where do you want these boxes?

Look, mom, if this is too hard for you,

I mean, I can unpack myself.

No, no, no, no, I wanna be here.

I know moving to colleges, a major milestone.

I know this isn't easy for you.

No.

And if it wasn't for the scholarship,

I wouldn't have come. - No, look,

Come here.

You don't have to explain anything, drea, okay.

Benhurst is one of the top colleges in the country

And you earned this, okay,

I don't want you letting what happen to your sister,

Keep you from taking full advantage of this opportunity.

Just promise me one thing.

That you will be extra careful.

I don't wanna lose you too.

I promise I'll be safe.

Of course I'm gonna worry, I'm your mom.

Sorry, I didn't mean

To interrupt your mother daughter moment.

You must be jess.

And you're drea, or are you?

Hard to tell, looks like you could both be in college.

Vanessa, but thank you.

By the way,

You don't mind me taking the left side, do you?

It's all good.

Cool.

I hate to run, but I'm running late for work.

Where do you work?

Cloud 10 ice cream.

Feel free to stop by.

On such a day, we might just take you up on that.

Cool.

Freshman 15, here I come.

Gosh, you.

Come on, let's get you unpacked.

Okay.

Why don't you go ahead and take up the old silks, okay?

Okay.

It's hard to believe it's been a year.

it still doesn't feel real.

Well, here we are.

Yeah, I guess this is it.

Give me a hug.

Don't worry.

I'll visit you in a couple weeks.

Okay.

Well I'm only an hour and a half away if you need me, okay.

I know.

Drive safe.

I will. Love you.

I love you too.

Your dorm looks great, sis.

I think it looks even cuter than mine did.

Thanks.

I like it too.

Feels strange doesn't it,

Being on your own for the first time,

Mom not hovering over you?

Yeah, a little.

I'm worried about her though.

You think she'll be all right?

Give her some time,

She'll be fine.

And so will you.

That is if you can manage to get yourself up on time

For class every morning.

Okay, no, no.

You were the one who was impossible to wake up for school.

No.

What's so funny?

Nothing.

How was work?

Slow.

Did you get a chance to check out campus today?

Not really.

Just been unpacking mostly.

Well tomorrow's my day off,

Maybe we can check it out together?

Yeah, sounds fun.

There's a club for everyone.

Hi ladies.

Have you considered pledging a sorority?

I hadn't, no.

Isn't it kind of hard to get in?

We are very selective,

But we're always looking for new pledges

Who are the right fit.

Yeah, we have amazing activities

Planned throughout the year.

Charities, parties, big camping trip in the spring.

It is a lot of fun.

And the sorority is super supportive of our sisterhood,

Even after we graduate.

Once a delta pi, always a delta pi.

My sister was delta pi.

Really?

Which chapter?

This one, you probably knew her, gabi davrow.

You're drea.

That's cool, maybe she can help you get in.

Excuse me.

What did I say?

My sister was killed last year.

I'm so sorry, I had no idea.

Since your sister was delta pi,

You would be a legacy candidate.

It would give you an edge in the selection process.

You should think about applying.

I'll definitely think about it.

So let me get this straight,

Your sister was killed five blocks from campus

And your mother still let you come to the school?

I mean, it wasn't the university's fault

My sister was killed.

Plus they gave me a full ride.

It's hard to say no to free college.

Did they ever catch her killer?

No.

The police believe it was a mugging gone bad.

Is that why you're considering pledging delta pi,

Because your sister was a member?

Maybe.

I mean, there was this whole part of gabi's life

That I didn't know anything thing about.

And she hardly talked about sorority life.

Probably because of the code of silence.

Code of silence?

It's a total thing with sororities.

I hear they do these weird rituals and stuff.

Rituals, like what?

I don't know.

It's super secretive.

Only way to find out is by pledging.

Watch your step.

These sidewalks are hazardous, especially in heels.

Can't believe that you can talk me into this.

I don't even like tea.

What was I thinking?

Right, I mean, who would trade

Living in our musty dorm room

To live in some place like this?

okay, I see your point.

Hi, welcome to delta pi zeta.

Would you guys like lemonade or tea?

Thank you. - Absolutely.

Thanks.

All right, ladies, may I please have your attention?

Thank you so much for attending our leadership day

At delta pi zeta.

Our sisters are excited to have you all here

And this is a great opportunity

To make a strong first impression.

So don't be shy.

so did you play sports in high school?

No, but I wrote about them in the school paper.

that's so cool.

Okay.

It was so nice meeting you as well.

Good luck this week, okay.

Hi.

I'm not sure if you remember me.

Of course I remember,

You're gabi's sister.

I'm callie thompson, chapter president.

Drea, but you already knew that.

I saw you and gabi's gram.

I'm glad to see you decided to rush.

Yeah, delta pi seems to be the sorority to pledge.

That we are.

Mindy mentioned that you and gabi were close friends.

More like sisters, actually.

She was my first roommate.

Mine too.

Listen, if you need anything while you're here

At ben hurst, just let me know.

Any sister of gabi's is a sister of mine.

I appreciate that.

See ya.

Excuse me.

This area is just restricted for the sisters.

Sorry.

I was just looking for the bathroom

And couldn't helping them sell these photos.

Some of them go back to like the 1940s.

Yes.

Delta pi zeta has a very long distinguished history.

All the best and brightest women

That graduated from this institution

Were part of our sisterhood.

We have some very successful business women,

Distinguished doctors and lawyers.

We even have one gold medal winner.

Impressive.

I'm rebecca, ms. Rebecca,
