Thinking about "rushing"

Hi all. I'm from Missouri and wanted to learn a little more before trying to pledge. Is any one here in a Beta Sigma Phi group in Missouri? I called and am getting an info packet in the mail and I also seen the website. But nothings better than talking to a real life person about there views and experiences.

Thanks

What does the bed and breakfast have to do with Beta Sigma Phi?

Is 23 to young to be in Beta Sigma Phi?

When I called the 1-888 #, she asked if I would like to start my own chapter...is that normal? For non members wanting to be members to just start there own groups?

Sorry, I keep thinking of new things to ask!

Beta Sigma Phi has a bed and breakfast program for traveling sisters who are looking for a place to stay during their travels. It's a great way to meet other sisters.

Friendly venturing (starting a new chapter) is quite common for new people wanting to join Beta. It's a lot of work, but it can be quite rewarding.

May I ask, where in Missouri are you? 23 is not too young to join; we have quite a few young members in our City Council here in NOLA.

1/2 hour from downtown St. Louis.

Hi! Twenty-three isn't too young. I was 23 when I joined, and I'm 27 now. I started a chapter as a non-member. You have to really be sure to educate yourself about the sorority's history and methods of operation if your Friendly Venture is going to be a success. But before you explore that possibility, I strongly encourage you to wait to be contacted by an existing chapter.

Have fun getting to know Beta Sigma Phi. I've enjoyed my membership quite a bit!

I just got contacted today. A sweet woman named Susan called and we are meeting at a area near her home and car pooling with another gal to the Dec. meeting. There's going to be a purse party and secret sister reveal. Sounds fun. Hope I don't act weird or only talk about my critters. (my two dogs). Sorry, but I don't have kids yet!

Hope to give you guys an update after the meeting, which is on Dec. 13th 2006.
