Pledge Application

[Mikki423]

Hi! I just submitted my application and pleader payment. I’ve wanted to join Beta Sigma Phi for longest time, but couldn’t due to being diagnosed with an auto immune disease. I looked online and there are several chapters in Miami, FL. Can anyone enlighten me on the complete process. Thank you so much for your time.

Just an update. Headquarters sent correspondence welcoming me as a new member at large/pledge. They also provided me with my membership number as well. Will the local chapter still contact me or will I need to find a chapter online until I become a full member. Thank you so very much in advance for your help.

I just saw this now. Sorry for the delay!

You might still be contacted by chapters, but to be completely honest, that can take a long time. Some chapters are not open to new members for a variety of reasons. Some chapters only "rush" at certain times of year (often spring or fall). Some chapters have space restrictions. You could get lucky and here something right away! It doesn't hurt to reach out to the chapters themselves. You don't have to sit and wait.

Don't give up! The face-to-face "land chapter" experience can be a lot of fun!

In the mean time, I highly recommend exploring online chapters. I have been with Online Kappa for 17 years, and I have really enjoyed it (although I do miss having a land chapter sometimes).

There are quite a few online chapters now. Some take new pledges like yourself, while others do not. Do a little research, and see where you would like to visit. Have fun!

(Note: In Beta Sigma Phi, a "pledge" is a full member with all the rights of membership. )

Does Online Kappa have a website or information somewhere? Thanks.

Hi! I’m a current member of Online Kappa! We do have a website but it doesn’t give a ton of information. The web address is OLK BSP.org. I’m going to try to PM you with some info. We’d love to have you see if we’re the right place for you!
