As far as I know, there are very few Nu Phi Mu chapters left. When Beta Sigma Phi was a new organization, many young women were joining, and this special degree was created so that new young members could be "mentored," so to speak, by older more established chapters. Nu Phi Mu is not a required degree. When I decided to start a chapter (as a non-member), I was discouraged from starting a Nu Phi Mu rather than a Ritual chapter because having the Nu Phi Mu designation would limit who could join. We couldn't pledge anyone over 23, and I was already on my way to being 24! Therefore...once the founding members of my chapter finished their pledge period (which we have), we became a Ritual of Jewels chapter.
So while you are right that Nu Phi Mu is a beginner chapter, if you were to join Beta Sigma Phi, you probably would not start at the Nu Phi Mu degree.

P.S. Little tip for everyone...All Nu Phi Mu chapter names begin with Phi.
