There;s no stomach "flu".. The influenza virus is respiratory and isn't found in the GI tract. Your sister had either bacterial or viral gastroenteritis. If viral, you may have been exposed to it but I can't predict your odds of coming down with gastroenteritis under any circumstances. If bacterial, I doubt it will affect you as she may have already had the problem before this weekend due to something she ate.
