LTFG is sponsoring the 2010 Texas State Convention. It is a four day Western Caribbean cruise out of Galveston visiting
Cozumel. A great dollar value and we'll do everything at sea they same as a land convention. This year we will have our
flea market, scrapbook/yearbook contests, general assembly and workshops. Convention forms for scrapbook and yearbooks can be found at www.betasigmaphihouston.org.

Beta Sigma Phi has been a part of my life since I was 25. I joined this wonderful sisterhood in 1969. I've met some wonderful women through in this organization. I've been introduced to a finer way of living, a better way of doing. It has provided growth for my body and my soul. It has provided me a wonderful world of friends with a desire to be of service to my world and my community. Beta Sigma Phi provided me with the training to pursue my destiny, that of being a "Party Girl". I thoroughly enjoy talking about Beta Sigma Phi and I enjoy helping create new and different travel experiences. My biggest enjoyment is when I can "Pay it Forward". It is one of my mottos.
Life today demands so much from all of us, that it behooves us to slow down, smell the fragrance of life around you. EXPERIENCE your life, and CREATE what you want. Aristotle said: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not act, it's a habit. Be loving to yourself. The future you seek is the future you create.
Please be patient with me and I'll begin adding to this little blog of mine. I'm not even sure that is what you call it. At the convention Saturday (Texas Space Area Convention 06), some asked me to repeat SMILE from the Beta Sigma Phi forum on membership.
S….Sign in sheets & name tags
M….Make guest feel welcomed and wanted
I. . . Include them in conversations and get them involved.
L… .Let them tell you about their life
E. Explain terminology and Beta Sigma Phi events
My favorite words:
Watch your thoughts, they become words
Words become actions,
Actions become habits
Habits build character
and Character builds your destiny!
We are what we THINK!

Legacy Ritual | Finally, I am able to post the Jewel ritual that is given to all retiring City Council Presidents as well as the Legacy Ritual. These rituals were written by International for Houston Council.
They were instigated in 1976-1977.
Please feel free to use them in your own councils or chapters.

Jewel Ritual |
A little history on these rituals. The Jewel Ritual was developed for Houston City Council in 1976 and there were seventeen members who received the "Jewel" Ritual Founder's Day, 1976.
The Legacy Ritual was also designed for Houston City Countil by request in 1976 by Vice President Ann Ball and the first Legacy Ritual was given in the Spring of 1977. International developed these rituals and you are free to click on the document (.doc) and it is legible to print.
