Hello sisters!

I'm Paula, and I'm the first president of Online XI - yep, we're a new chapter (just a few months old) and actually most of us are pledges. So we're learning together!

Online works best for me right now as I travel a lot for work. Also there really aren't any land based chapters within 20 miles of me. So maybe in a few years once I'm comfortable with the ways of the organization I'll look into starting a chapter in my area.

What brought me to Beta Sigma Phi? I have been active in Girl Scouts as a volunteer for many years, but the group in my area is very stagnant. I want to branch out and meet new women who are also wanting to develop a sisterhood! Part of what disappoints me about other organizations is either the lack of ways to enter post-college or the focus on building friendships for life. I'm inspired when I hear about women who are still active 10 or 15 or even 50 years later and I hope that's me one day!

I came to GreekChat to foster building relationships with my other Beta Sigma Phi sisters outside of my chapter - so I'm looking forward to a more active forum here as well! And I promise I will do my part by posting and starting threads.

Jill/Erica - looking forward to getting to know both of you!

Deborah - feel free to reach out to me as well since I'm also in an online chapter - we're just getting started but I'll be happy to share my experiences with you!
