Once upon a time, in the late summer of 1978, six young women traveled from all parts of Texas to the sleepy little college town of Georgetown. There they discovered the joys of Commons food, sleeping and studying within 120 square feet of shared space, waking up just in time to throw on sweats and run across campus for an 8:00 class, and taking ballroom dance classes in the SUB. Before a month had passed, the girls had declared themselves fast friends and began making routine runs to Sonic, RamGro and Wag-a-Bag. They were the Sonic Rainbow Sorority, or SRS for short.

The stars recently aligned to reunite all of the SRS for the first time in 30 years. Seven of their 16 offspring came along to witness the sisterhood and silliness that picked up right where we left off so many years ago:
Even though we've moved far away from our LK dorm rooms (from the left: I live in Angleton TX, Kelly lives in Galveston, Jeanie lives in Sarasota FL, Cindy lives in Cuero TX, Robin lives in Saudi Arabia, and Jannae lives in Denton TX), it turns out that our hearts remain close. Our journeys have seemed different on the surface, but underneath it all we've shared very similar experiences and concerns and priorities and struggles and delights. We all were encouraged by our time together and plan to meet again before another 30 years pass!

And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care
to watching over one another,
studying how we may stir up, stimulate and incite
to love and helpful deeds and noble activities,
not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together,
as is the habit of some people,
but admonishing, urging and encouraging one another.
Hebrews 10:24-25 Amplified
