| We have so many benefits of membership --- but now you'll have a list of benefits at your fingertips when you need inf. on our insurance programs, discount programs, fund-raising projects... whatever you or the chapter need. |
 Beta Sigma Phi International was the stand in for a school building in an Ebay ad for their new Shop Victoriously drive. The ad is appearing in Rolling Stone Magazine and a few other venues. See if you can catch a glimpse. We found out how unexciting the making of this kind of ad was the day they spent here doing it. Each item was shot separately and then added in post production. "We're ready for our close up, Mr. DeMille." |
Everyone loves a party and here's your chance to host one.
How about your chapter planning a party for another chapter.
You choose the theme, provide all the props, place them in a box and deliver.
Then wait to hear what a good time they had.
Does your chapter have a special way of celebrating holidays or local events?
You can share something special and unique about your area using the party box.
The box should contain your chapter's name, address, entire list of your members, a short chapter history, and most of all - a disposable camera.
This will allow the chapter who receives your box to take pictures of their chapter enjoying the party theme you sent them.
Then it would be their turn to send your chapter a Party Box.
This is a fun idea for large city councils that want their chapters to be closer or a unique idea for an upcoming convention or statewide gathering. |

| Today, Beta Sigma Phis give about $2-$3 million a year to service, and give between 200-300,000 hours of their time to good causes.
We'll show you what sisters are doing for a wide variety of good causes... and share their ingenious ideas for funding these efforts! |
| Ever wonder what International's really like? If you haven't got time to take the trip, now you'll be able to visit electronically, and take a visit through the Beta Sigma Phi archives, too. |
| For those chapters who want to recognize years that are not covered by the Silver , Golden and Diamond Rituals, we have a Decade Ritual available. It can be used to recognize any decade of membership you need. If you do not have this Ritual, get in touch with your Division Chairman and she will be glad to get you a copy. |
| International has received a lot of returned mail lately for our members. That costs us and keeps you from getting your information. Please remember to let International know when your address changes. That applies to phone or email address changes as well. Thank you. |
| Go to the M&M's website. www.mms.com and order custom printed M&M's there's a minimum of four packages. But how cool. Founder's Days, conventions, you name it you can think of something to print and who doesn't love M&M's. |
| If you are looking for a service project please consider writing to or sending packages to our armed forces. Remember we have sisters in the military as well as children of sisters, they can use our support. There is a link on our links page to Books for Soldiers a website that gives you names and contacts for solidiers needing books and other items. This site was given to me by a member in California when I mentioned at convention my hope that members who had sisters or children overseas would share the names of soldiers they might hear of who weren't getting mail. We can fill a void for someone who is fighting for us. Let us know if you have anyone who needs contact or if you have been able to help. |
| Some of the history books had a bad photo on the final photo page of the TORCH staff. It is blue. If you got this here is what they have told us to tell you. You can call for address etc. if you need to.
As for other members, they can ship the books back for replacement, but
should include a note in the package with the problem. We can reimburse up
to $6.95 for the return shipping. |
