Perhaps the culture has changed, but at Delta Gamma sorority at Emory University in Atlanta in the early and mid-90's, sisters greeted each other with "eeeeeee!", with the shrillness and sound levels directly proportional to the amount of time since they'd last seen each other. There was also bouncing and hugging of elbows for prolonged absenses.
And I'm not being a smartass. I dated one and had to put up with it. God forbid a sister that no one had seen in a year showed up. Windows would have shattered for blocks.
