Pat

Xi Theta Gamma, Coraopolis, PA

Preceptor

I was 300+ miles from home living in Indianapolis. With three young children I needed an outlet that included other women. A neighbor invited me to a meeting and that was the beginning of many years packed full of great experieces and wonderful friends.

Now a lifetime member, I've been a BSP since 1972 and have been honored with Silver Circle and Order of the Rose. Over the years I've held all chapter offices and served on every committee. I've also served as Recording Secretary and President for Pittsburgh City Council. Most important, I've had the opportunity to serve my community in many different ways and have met the greatest friends in the world.

Name: Lisa
Chapter: Laureate Delta in Spokane, WA
Laureate in land chapter and a member of On Line Delta (OLD)since last summer.
I joined in an all city rush in 1970 and couldn't believe when 25 years went by and I was a Life Member.
I'm glad I found this site. It will be fun to see other members interests and ideas. Mizpah

I joined when my mother, a life member, fv'ed a "younger" chapter here in town. We have three chapters in our town of about 6000, with a total membership of about 35. Yes, we have small chapters!:cool:

I love Beta Sigma Phi!

Re: about me!

2) Chapter: Preceptor Epsilon Beta, O'Fallon, IL

5) Anything else you want us to know: I am the Current President of On Line Sigma! Another online chapter heard from.
I joined Beta Sigma Phi in 1988 and have been on MAL just a couple of short times. I just moved to the Scott AFB area after being in Dallas, Tx for 10 years. You Dallas gals are so lucky! There are three small chapters here in this area and I hope to EXPAND them some....

Ginger

1) First Name: Nicole
2) Chapter: Member-at-Large
3) Status or Degree: Ritual of Jewels *March 7, 2004*
4) Why you joined (or are thinking about joining) Beta: I was in Alpha Phi Omega in college, and wanted to be in a sisterhood too. I went through NPC rush (twice), but didn't feel like I fit in with the two sororities on my campus. I found out about Beta (about the time I moved to MD), and it was love at first sight!
5) Anything else you want us to know:

Beta Sigma Phi Roll Call
 

What is your:

1) First Name: Maureen
2) Chapter: Laureate Beta Theta and On Line Delta
3) Status or Degree: Laureate
4) Why you joined (or are thinking about joining) Beta: A woman I worked with was always talking about her sorority chapter and it sounded like something I would also enjoy so I pledged. That was 27 years ago and I still really enjoy it!
5) Anything else you want us to know: Being involved in an On Line chapter of BSP is a truly awesome experience. To me, it seems that my on line sisters are closer friends that my land chapter sisters. When I helped to co-chair the On Line Gathering in Denver in 2001, I was totally amazed at the instant acceptance and love that permeating that entire three days!

Also, I just joined Greek Chat.com today because of what was written about it on the BSP list.

Roll call
 

1.) Name: Suzi

2.)Chapter(s): Illinois Psi Kappa Chicago; Online Theta

3.) Status or Degree: Ritual of Jewels, serving as chapter president for the coming year in our local chapter. Not currently holding office in our inline chapter.

4.) My mom, a longtime Beta Sigma Phi, secured a legacy membership for me when I was a child, but I didn't make good on that promise until about 5 years ago. At that time I took the steps to help Friendly Venture the first Ritual of Jewels chapter to appear in Chicago in more than 15 years.

5.) We've enjoyed 2 years of successful recruitment, (our chapter went from 5 to 14 members in that time!) and are continuing to hold pledge training sessions over the summer for our 5 newest members. We do dinner meetings ("salad suppers")in each other's homes. The hostess supplies the place, beverages, plates/napkins/silverware and everyone else brings the food. We're supplementing the regular lessons in "Invitation to Life" with additional material from the online sorority resources, http://www.betasigmaphi.org and http://www.betajournal.com. :)

Welcome, Suzi. I'm glad you found us.

ROJ DEGREE
SERVING AS VICE PRESIDENT THIS YEAR

I joined Beta because I wanted to meet ladies that I probably would not have been able to come into contact with otherwise. I am the youngest in my early 30's versus ladies that are in their 60's, however, I love my chapter and the sisters.
