The Septembers
The original Sisterhood, the girls' mothers. They were a strange group, Tibby's mom - the young radical, Lena's mom - the ambitious Greek, Bridget's mom - the Alabama debutante, and Carmen's mom - the Puerto Rican with the rocky marriage. They all met at an aerobics class for pregnant women, and were all due in September, hence "the Septembers". They became friends and continued with a support group after the girls (and Bee's brother) were born. They are the main reason that the girls are so close, but their friendships deteriorated after the death of Bee's mom. Now the Sisterhood girls carry on their mothers' friendships, and are the new, true Septembers.
