While I love ASA and am extremely involved I also love my BSP chapter and love learning from my sisters who have more life experiences. It's almost like college all over again. Almost being the operative word. Meetings once per month (instead of weekly) and a social once a month (instead of daily or weekly events). Someone gave the email address for friendly venturing (forming a chapter). You may be able to find some Junior League members and then you ladies can form an unantiquated BSP chapter. Best wishes on whichever way you decide to/end up finding fulfillment. I do agree with whats been said about NPC may not being the best route.

My chapter isnt antiquated either. I am 30. The oldest member is 38 and we just pledged a new member that is 27. My city council in fact is on a mission to recruit members in their 20's and 30's into Beta Sigma Phi.

Hi texasRose and Rebelgirl... if you are still pursuing AI information let me know, I can share some of my experiences, esp. since I am in the same boat as you, sort of... (thru PM!!). All the input on this topic is extremely valuable coming from GLO members.

Hope we can be in touch, all the best!

I wish you girls had a NYC chapter...I looked in BSP a few years ago and I'm still interested, I just don't know enough people that are to look into starting a new chapter!

Maybe you can talk to some of the other NYC GCers.

What's a BFE area?

You know, I had a fit the other day because no one knew what BFE or FUBAR meant! I thought that was common knowledge. I mean, really, both have been around since WWII along with SNAFU. Out of 50 people I quizzed at my hospital, only 2 people knew the meaning and they were both over 50!

Buttonz · #69 09-08-2009, 09:25 PM

I've never heard it...but thanks, it's nice to know! And NYC is totally not BFE!

You've learned a good term for the boondocks! We use it quite frequently in the south.

i thought "snafu" was a word, not an acronym. and FUBAR is awesome. my gym teacher used to use it all the time. he'd use it as an adjective, it was great.

AOII Angel · #72 09-08-2009, 09:56 PM

Snafu means "Situation Normal: All F*ed up"

I'm a fan of BOHICA, which goes along nicely with snafu and fubar.

Psi U MC Vito · #74 09-08-2009, 10:28 PM

I really like BOHICA myself. Guys in the military get really creative with their profanity, that's for sure.

You'd be surprised at the stuff you can't find in NYC.
