At long last...

Well gals, as you may or may not know, I moved from MD to Woodbridge, VA in April. Since my move, I have been trying to contact chapters in the area. I called HQ (twice), called the contacts they gave me... and got no response.

But then I got a call from the president of the Delta Delta chapter! I had left her a message, and she called me the next week, explaining that she had just gotten back from vacation, and that's why she didn't call sooner. They are having a get-together this Sunday, and I am invited! I am so excited to finally be back in touch with Betas! Tammy (the pres. of the chapter) was so nice to talk to, and she said that they hold two meetings a month, both on Sundays from 7pm to 9pm -this is great, because I work weird hours, but on sundays the latest I work is until 7pm, and she said it would be okay if I came to meetings a bit late.

I am so happy that I may have found my new Beta home!

Beta love,
Nicole

The meeting was so much fun... these sisters are INSANE (in a good way

)!!! It was a really informal pool party. It was their first meeting since May, so it was a sort of catch-up time for them, and a meet-and-greet for us newbies (there are 9 sisters, and three people interested, plus me).

I got an e-mail from the pres. of the chapter today. I have been invited to the next meeting (which is a business meeting). I am so excited that I may have found my new Beta home, and with such wonderful and fun women! The business meeting is the third sunday of the month (not sure of the date). I'm counting down the days!

Beta love,
Nicole

I missed the next Delta Delta meeting, and had to work during their next social.

But after thinking about it for a while, I decided that I wanted to look into other chapters in the area, mainly because Delta Delta doesn't do a lot of service projects (their only two are both during the Christmas season).

So, I got in touch with a woman from the Xi Zeta Eta chapter. She was so nice in her e-mail.

Their chapter has 10 women, and they do a lot more service projects, but also have fun socials too. I am going to give her a call this evening or tomorrow evening and see when their next meeting is!

Also, I am looing into Online Chapters. I filled out the info request form on the Beta Journal (what a wonderful resource page!), and so far I have gotten 4 response e-mails!

Just wanted to let my GC Beta sisters know what was going on with lil' ole' me.

Beta hugs,
Nicole
