After some thought, I emailed BSPhi's membership contacts from the national website... I'm going to make the plunge and look into a local group to join-- I hope that there's one in the Boston/South Shore Mass. area.
I am a member of Tau Beta Sigma (band professional sorority) as a collegiate member, but I always wanted to join a more social/community minded group that wasn't quite as specialized as TBS (or as small, which is both a good and bad thing at times). Plus, the alumni-active connection in TBS just never seems to work well, and I find myself wanting to be involved in an active sisterhood. In college I didn't have the time to join any of the National organizations, having committed to TBS. I was thrilled to find that I didn't miss my chance to join a diverse sisterhood.
Anyway... I wanted to introduce myself and say hi to everyone. My name's Melissa. I'm 29 and live in the southern metro-Boston, Mass. area.
I hope to be joining you all in sisterhood!
