I agree there is a need for a convention or conclave and that it would be fun just to meet other Betas. Guess the next question would be "who wants to chair and / or co-chair a n online conclave or convention committe" due to logistics of all of us on this forum?
Fom my understanding a conclave is a one-day conference and convention runs about 2-3 days.
I just got off the phone with one of the Sac City Council (SCC) Execs "CU" about forming 2-3 FV Ritual of Jewels(ROJ) chapters of younger women (between the ages of 20-30's) who are at a different point in their lives than those who are mainly in their late 40's to 70's. Currently there are only two ROJ in the City Council. A few of us in the SCC agree that we need to find ways to attract and retain younger members. Please PM or email any suggestions you may have for events to do during the hot summer months.
SCC is asking for volunteers from all 15 chapters to help with the rush events and contacting prospectives Betas from the long list which is growing daily. These events will be held during the summer to gear up to Beginning Day. I'm currently in a Exempler chapter and If possible I might just transfer to one of the new chapters if it all works out. "CU" also mentioned that there is a 32 yrs old visiting their chapter who kind of feels like the "baby" just like I do in my chapter.
This topic has me stoked and looking forward to Founder's Day, Summer Rush, and Beginning Day for the the 2003/2004 sorority year.
