In the process of a Friendly Venture

[misscherrypie]

After some discussion both with Greek Life and ASUN (our student body governing organization....they oversee clubs), we might be able to bring a FV chapter of BSP to our university next semester!

I've been talking with International and they are extremely enthused and sent on a FV Chapter in a Box package with several of the Collegiate recruitment posters included along with a letter to Greek Life and ASUN explaining BSP.

It took a few meetings and presentation of information about BSP to explain to them exactly how Beta Sigma Phi functioned and why having a chapter on campus would be beneficial to Greek life and campus life.


One thing that was made clear to me by International that a chapter could be any of the following, and be a fully-recognized chapter of BSP:

A. a ROJ chapter that consists of students and others, but has no connection to the University.
B. A ROJ chapter that is accepted as part of the Multicultural Greek Council or Panhellenic Council on campus, and follows campus Greek rules in addition to BSP rules. Only University students who are full-time would be able to join.
C. A ROJ chapter that is accepted as a student organization, by the school, but not as a sorority. Only University students who are taking at least seven units would be able to join.

Has anyone been involved in any FV efforts that fell into any of those categories? I'm just curious how things worked in terms of going through the legwork to set everything up.

There are eleven ladies on campus who are interested in being part of the FV, and we are planning a rush event for early February. I mean, we could FV now, if we wanted to.....but the consensus is to wait until after we return from the break between the semesters and see if we can attract other potential members.
