I was wondering if there are any updates. I know Measi and ThetaPrincess were possibly visiting chapters a few weeks ago. How did it go?

None here-- I unfortunately was unable to get to the chapter that contacted me (due to work conflicts and the long distance to get there). But I have heard from two other sisters since then-- once from another New Hampshire chapter (who believes there are some around Cape Cod... which is far, but not as far as Seacost area New Hampshire) and one from Jill's UMass chapter. :) All are quiet for the summer... so things are on pause a bit until late August or so- although I do intend to keep in touch with the sisters who emailed me.

:D :D OH!! You mean MY chapter;) Not really your neck of the woods, but I'm glad they found you. Good luck with your search.

Sorry, Erica~ For some stupid reason I keep getting Jill and you mixed up (one of those really idiotic brain things).

But yeah, I'm psyched-- it's a bit far away, but much easier to get to than the seacost NH region (which has members from NH and Maine).

The meeting with the chapter in Louisville ended up being cancelled, but I'm invited to the next one when it gets planned.


On the other hand, I have been invited to a summer picnic from the Beta Psi chapter here in Lexington which I will be attending on July 24th :) I'm quite excited about it :)

Have fun at your picnic! Let us know how it goes! :)

That's awesome, Mary! I can't wait to hear how it goes. With all the activity on the board recently, I am on a Beta Sigma Phi high!!!:D

No real news to report. I'm not 100% certain yet, but I think I'm going to FV a chapter instead of continuing to look for an existing one. I'll know for certain after I get settled in my new apartment at the end of August. :)

Internationals is sending out my information to all the chapters within a 30 mile radius. I think after I am a member for awhile, I might friendly venture (after my term one semester term of president for my APO chapter). I would like to get more college students involved on my campus.

Well, I went to my second Beta meeting last week - it was at the local Cheesecake Factory restaurant (yummy!). I've been given the opportunity to think about pledging - yay!

Yaay! That's great news!

Update!
 

Well I met with the Lexington chapter. I liked everyone I met. everyone was so friendly! I even unknowlingly met someone from my bible study group there that I didnt know was a member of Beta Sigma Phi :) I did feel out of place a lil bit at first because with the exception of the chapter president, everyone was married with children---and I'm neither of those things. However they did tell me that meetings or get togethers where the whole family is invited is not something that is often. I plan to meet with them again at a legends baseball game on Aug. 14th and see how that is without the hubby's and the kiddies. they invited me to a dinner outing tonight but I am not able to attend due to the short notice and a previous engagement.


I've also been invited to attend a Bunko party/gettogether with the chapter in louisville on Aug. 15th. This is a younger and newly formed group than the Lexington chapter. I'm planning on meeting with both groups 2 or 3 times to get a feel before I choose which one I like the best. I have been talking to the president of this group online and we do seem to have or experiencing the same things presently(inparticularly with stupid guys). I'm excited to meet this group.

I got my first phone call today. A chapter (ABZ) that encompasses Tampa and Brandon and she invited me to a Bridal shower that they are having on Saturday. Unfortunately I was away and didn't get the phone call until after the message was left. Also I can't make it but it gives me hope that I will start hearing from other chapters.

I love to hear good news!

Theta Princess- I'm glad the picnic with the Lexington chapter went well and I'm excited to hear your thoughts about the Louisville chapter! Keep us posted! @->--

Ms Congeniality- It's good to hear that chapters are contacting you! Beginning Day is right around the corner!! Good luck, make sure to keep us updated! @->--

Go Beta Sigma Phi! I have a feeling the organization is going to be getting a lot of awesome new pledges during Fall Rush!!!!

I called the chapter back and spoke to the VP for 23 minutes. Even though they are at least 10 years older than I am, it seems like I will get along with them pretty well. They also told me how they raised 15 grand not too long ago and that makes me feel proud. Their meeting is on the 13th. I hope to hear from more chapters.
