Hi,
I does take awhile to hear from Int'l unfortunately (about 1-2 people in the membership dept work on rush and prospective member database). I would call and she if you can get a phone # for the nearest City Council in your area. I believe most chapters are gearing up for rush now and planning events for Sept - Oct. Some chapters invite pnm's to beginning day but that varies by region, City Council, & by chapter. I did a generic search on google.com for BSP and the area I live in - that may also be a goo way to locate BSP contacts in your area. Beginning day for most chapters is the last weekend in August and a small % wait until the 1st weekend after Labor Day. I hope you hear something in the next month or so.
