If we want to join Beta Sigma Phi as adults (I'm going to be 23), do we have to go through a rush and pledge process? Do we get bids, or is membership open to anyone?

Let me welcome you to the Beta board! I thought about posting to both your topics but thought that would be a little redundant. Anyway, I have an answer to your question. Beta is a continuous process. By that I mean, if you were 102 and decided you wanted to join, you could. I am also 23 (little closer to 24 though) and I'm a pledge with my new chapter here in Baton Rouge, LA. When you get invited to join the sorority, there is a 6 month pledge period. You will learn about the history of the organization and the unique things about your chapter in particular. Beta isn't like any other sorority I've ever come in contact with. Members stay active and never go on "alum" status. There are different progressions for the years that you are in Beta and this makes it all the more fun and interesting.
Now on to the other question posted. Like prospective said, the website is a great place to start collecting information. The main person that you will have contact with is Keri Marshall. She's our membership director at international. She will give you name to the city council around the area you are at and they in turn will give your name to different chapters. It's a slow process, but well worth it. As I said earlier, it's a lifelong thing so you have many years to look forward to being with sisters in Beta.
