College is often portrayed as the time you'll meet your ride-or-die best friends and create bonds that last a lifetime. But what happens when the reality of friendship doesn't match the expectation? In this powerful episode of 7 On Sundays, hosts Dr. Chez Leeby and Stephanie Boye sit down with Danielle and Everett to explore the complexities of college friendships, sorority life, and the search for authenticity.

Through their raw and relatable stories, Danielle and Everett reveal the highs and lows of sorority involvement, the challenges of navigating superficial vs. genuine relationships, and the lessons they've learned about self-worth, quality over quantity, and staying true to yourself. The discussion sheds light on how social media pressures, cultural expectations, and campus dynamics influence friendships during college and young adulthood.

Listeners will gain insights into:

• Why expectations of "forever friends" in college often clash with reality.

• The good, the bad, and the complicated dynamics of sorority life.

• How to identify authentic connections vs. superficial relationships.

• The emotional impact of broken friendships — and how to heal.

• Practical advice for building meaningful, lasting relationships in young adulthood.

This candid conversation is a must-listen for students, parents, and anyone reflecting on the power (and pitfalls) of friendship in today's world.
