“It almost felt a little bit too comfortable,” Kate tells PEOPLE. “I was thinking about the twelve years we’d already been in school together – and now we were getting four more – and wondering, how is that going to work out?”

Branching out

Kate says the siblings knew they’d need to build separate lives when they made the big move together.

“We had talked about it going in like, ‘Guys, we love each other, but we’re going to find ourselves. We’re going to grow as individuals and not just a quad.’ ”

The foursome pursued separate activities and enrolled in different colleges within the university but remained extremely close.

“Being an RA, I now realize that freshmen here do get homesick and it is quite a tough transition from high school to college,” Greg reflects. “But considering like half of our family is here with me I never really had that homesick feeling.”

Greg says it’s their many shared interests that make it easy to find time together.

“We all go to church together and we were on the same intramural football team. We’ve found ways to find time together but really I never bump into them around campus.”
