I also want to mention that the older sisters don't want to make way and allow the younger members to come in and take over higher positions.
BSP is dying a slow death.

AMEN to this!
I have taken a LOA from BETA for this very reason!
In October 2003 I went to our local conclave and there was another younger member and myself. The members that had been there for quite some time were RUDE and didn't introduce themselves. Isn't this group about FRIENDSHIP??
During the pre-conclave festivities I went out of my comfort zone to approach a lady who had moved to the area and was very active from where she moved and here too. She seemed very excited about BSP. She was also on the CC. Well, I suggested we FV with the 2 Community Colleges in the area. She immediately shut me down and said that members in the City Counsel wouldn't go for this because they would think that there were attempts to make these like NPC groups and HAZE. I was just like "whatever".
And then at the Conclave--OMG!! This lady roasted the other younger member because all the games centered around GRANDCHILDREN and RETIREMENT and when my friend made a comment she couldn't provide an answer, the lady roasted her in front of the entire group and said basically she didn't count because she hadn't "paid her dues yet".
I really want to meet and mix with women in my own age range, however, I am accepting of the established members, but I just don't see that coming the other way. And, BSP can't compete w/Jr. League in some areas or whatever the established groups are in those areas for attracting the 20-40 set. But, on the other hand, BSP is being eaten alive for the retirement age set by the RED HATTERS, at least in my area.
Not to sound harsh here, but if Beta wants to survive it needs an OVERHAUL from the TOP DOWN.
Yes, it does really appear like "these" BSPs in control don't have A CLUE AT ALL!
