Hi, many of your questions would be decision of the chapter. Like when to wear a dress. Most chapters are pretty casual for meeting and ask for a dress or dressy outfit for Rituals to show respect for those receiving their Ritual. Chapter meetings should last about 30 minutes, because they aren't the fun part. With good organization this can happen easily. Programs should be at least 30 minutes including discussion. But any questions you have, International can answer. You can call, write or e-mail. You can e-mail me, Laura at
laura@betasigmaphi.org or your division chairman at
service@betasigmaphi.org. We are here to help you, that's our only job so please use us.
