I'm baaaaack....
After getting a PM from a kind GCer who attends the school I was at, I'm a little more "heartened" about Beta again!
I'd told him about my very poor experience with Greek Life at UW-M and mentioned in passing that I'd toyed with the idea of starting a chapter of Beta there, because the school definitely needs a breath of fresh air.
His response was a resounding Go For It! The sororities all haze something awful, and I guess none of the fraternities like doing anything with them. Plus, there may be more fraternities may be colonizing there soon, so they will need some balance! (right now there are only 3 sororities, with average numbers around 20 members or so I think)
So.... I'm beginning to consider it again! I'm pretty sure the Spring semester starts soon (if it hasn't already), so I know now would be a good time to get going.
I'm so scared to do this by myself, though. I wish I had just one person to do it with me, but I don't have any girlfriends that are interested.

That is my biggest stumbling block right now.
But I'm back!
