They got ready for parties and shared countless laughs as freshmen in the dormitories of the University of Maryland. They bonded over being black women at a university where, in 1971, only 4% of the students were black. Friends called the tight-knit group of women Sugar Hill, and the name sustained.

But that wasn’t the end of the friend group. For the past 50 years, the women have met at least once a year for dinners, sleepovers and vacations. The 16 women of the Sugar Hill Sisterhood, as they now call themselves, have leaned on one another through decades of milestones: weddings and graduations, baby showers and funerals. “There’s no challenge too big for the sisterhood,” says Everene Turner, a member of the team, “I could call in the troops in a minute.”

While many people have friendships that span decades, the women of Sugar Hill are something of a case study in what it takes to maintain them. Although the bond among them was forged during college, they’ve worked hard to stay connected and nurture their relationships. A group chat helps them stay in touch daily, as do phone calls, video chats and remote group activities like a 90-day fitness challenge. They are committed to their annual reunions and have maintained unwavering support for one another.

In the late 1970s, one of the group members, Dawkins whose boyfriend died in a car accident, was mourning

the loss when another Sugar Hill sister persuaded Dawkins to live with her. They stayed roommates for the next few years. Dawkins says, “Time and friends are two things that become more valuable the older you get.”

Their group name has become part of their identity and now extends to family members. The friends support one another’s children and grandchildren, and the children of the sisterhood also spend time together. “It’s a great feeling knowing that we’ve passed the Sugar Hill legacy to our offspring and they are passing it down to their offspring,” Jonetta says. And before Dawkins got married in 1985, Jonetta’s husband joked to her fiance that his commitment would extend beyond Dawkins, “Just make sure you want to do this — you’re marrying her, but you’re marrying 15 other sisters as well.”

A. It presents challenges but is rewarding.

B. It takes equal investment among them.

C. In-person interaction is unnecessary with telecommunication.

D. Physical distance increases their appreciation for the time spent together.

“What’s special about our species?” is a question scientists have wrestled with for centuries. Now an evolutionary anthropologist Thomas Morgan has a new theory that could change the way we perceive ourselves, and the world.
