The Historian in me...

I am curious, do you ladies think National would have pictures of the first sisters of Beta Sigma Phi? I wonder if they would give me more information on the history. I know the basic stuff but I am a curious gal. Is there a published history book at all?

Hmmm...that's a great question. I don't know. Are you on Facebook? You can easily connect with Laura Ross Wingfield on there. She would know. Or you can just call International.

There is a history book now that was published a few years ago. I am sure that International has pictures. Did you ever get a response? I would love to see that picture!

History books can be ordered from Gift department. You have to call or write to place the order. I've been trying to save for one.

I bought the 75th Anniversary book when it came out. While I did enjoy it, I did feel it was overpriced for what I got. It is only 143 pages and it contains mostly pictures. About 95% or more of the information (though not 100%) contained in the book can be found through various links/documents on the National website. Thus why I felt it was overpriced, because outside of pictures, the information and history presented was not really new or going beyond. I have not seen it for sale on the website in a while. It is possible they may have sold out of them. I have seen them on eBay however so you may want to try there.

As to your original question of pictures being available of some of our first sisters, there is a photo in the book of sisters attending the first Founder's Day celebration in Vinita, Oklahoma in April 1932. That is the oldest photo. There is another picture from 1939 from a Pledge Ritual. All other photos are from the 40's and beyond.

Same here. I am very curious about our first sisters and haven't found much information. Maybe, I'm not looking hard enough. :-(
