; BETA SIGMA PHI CELEBRATES U8th ANNIVERSARY _____________________________ Beta Sigma Phi, a social, cultural and service organi- zation for womem, plans the celebration of the A8th anniversary of its founding. Beta Sigma Phi; is the largest women's sOrority in the world. Celebrations will take place in the 30 countries in which the orga nization's 250,000 members in over 12,000 chapters exist. The organi- zation is nonâ€"academic, nonâ€" political and nonâ€"sectarian. The keynote to Beta Sigma Phi is friendship. Chapters of five different legrees meet the growing needs of various age groups. Members are active in small chapter groups. Each chapter adapts the plans for social, civic, and service and cultural activities to fit the interâ€" ests of its members. When Beta Sigma Phi events or civic endeavors are larger than one chapter can plan alone, all chapters in a city or area may combine their strength. There are state conventions each year which any member may attend. Internationally, the chapters have created several special funds: The International Loan Fund, through which members help one another; The International Endowment Fund, which has donated over one million dollars to cancer research, cystic fibrosis, homes for under-privileged children, and many other causes: The Exemplar Fund, which helps to support Literacy Village in India; and a college scholarship fund for members or their sons or daughters.
