ABQ Beta Sigma Phi President's Welcome Letter

Albuquerque Beta Sigma Phi

City Council Presidents and Representatives

Advisory Board

Executive Board

 

Dear Sisters in City Council,

 

This year we have something special to celebrate the "80th anniversary of Beta Sigma Phi" with each of you Building our Future traditions.  Also, our State Convention will be held at the  Marriott/Louisiana(I-40) in Albuquerque, NM. June 1, 2 and 3rd. It's an awesome year to be part of Sorority.

 

To our current members, new members, members on leave of absence, members at Large, transferees, and pledges, let us share what we have in Beta Sigma Phi with each other and those join us in the upcoming months. I hope there will be many.

 

One of our goals is that the Board will address all our concerns, issues, and criticisms in a satisfactory manner so that everyone will be encouraged to attend and participate in all our functions.  In addition, I hope each guest chapter will urge their members to come at their assigned time.  This is a great way to meet new members and renew old friendships.

 

The City council meetings will again be held in the Hodgin Elementary Library, located at 3801 Morningside Dr. NE (1 block east of Carlisle, one block north of Comanche or 4 blocks south of Montgomery).

 

Our first meeting will be held on August 29, 2011 at 7:00p.m.

City Council representatives should be  prepared to vote on the budget at this meeting.  Please bring a check (no cash please) for membership dues, if the budget passes.

 

 Roster prices will be given to you by the contact Committee.

 

I am honored and look forward to being your City Council President for the coming year!  I will be working with a wonderful staff of officers.

 

The Executive Board and I vowed at Installation to serve this Council to be the best of our ability. With your help, I am confident that we can fulfill our duties in this exciting anniversary year of our sisterhood.

 

Hugs, your sister in Beta Sigma Phi

Mary E. Stanton, President

2011 BSP Convention in Las Cruces

From the August 2011 edition of the Torch:

The theme “Las Cruces Mysteries Will Drive You
Nuts” managed to intrigue all, and the goal was
accomplished when this “City of the Crosses” hosted
the New Mexico State Convention. Inquisitive
minds discovered clues to many of the mysteries
that surround the city’s heritage, and were also
given a primer on forensics by a local detective. To
offset any seriousness, there was also a fun winetasting.
To accompany the theme, a mystery play
was on the bill for Saturday night, titled, “There’s
Gold in Them Thar Hills.” The ending was as magical
as the entire weekend, making for spine-tingling
moments and lots of togetherness.
