Learn English – what does “we can make sisters for life” mean

meaningmeaning-in-context

ok, here is the exact saying that appeared in an American movie.

"we can make sisters for life"

I couldn't find the definition of "make sisters" on the internet.

so, I assumed that "make sisters" likes "make friends"

So, make sisters with somebody=become a sister of somebody

"for life" can mean "for the rest of someone's life"

So, we can make sisters for life=we can become sisters of each other for the rest of our life.

could I be right?

If google serves, the line is from a movie called 'Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising'

You know what we should do?

We should start our own sorority. One that can party the way that we want to.

Mmm-hmm.

And like, most importantly, we can make sisters for life. Yeah!

A sorority is a society for female students in a university or college, typically for social purposes. They are prominent in the United States (often identified by Greek letters), and are frequently depicted in movies set in American universities as a result.

A sorority is often considered to be a sisterhood of sorts, and as a member of a sorority, it's commonplace to refer to your fellow members as sorority sisters, which is what your movie quote refers to.
