canada hosts 9th grand fraternity reunion ball

ontario, niagara on the lake - the beta sigma fraternity alumni canada, inc., much anticipated biennial fraternitiy ball in the betan world is well on its way into the history pages of our book which i'd like to call, betan lives.  "a celebration of unity, harmony and brotherhood through fortitude..." now that is what it should all be about, i mean what else should it be?  

new york beta sigma congratulates every member of the canuck betan family on this occassion and for their pioneering efforts in organizing medical missions to various communities in the philippines.  

here in the big apple, we look forward to send our own delegation for outreach programs or partner with other beta sigma chapters here in north america and chapters in the philippines. 

cheers to GP Jinggoy Solon, USC '66 and to the new administration on their induction, a highlight of this affair, which is only second compared to the highly regarded hospitality of our canadian brods. let your imagination take you to the events that have been happening and everything that they have lined up for this grand fraternity reunion ball. priceless...

celebrating 63 years of beta sigma

woodside, queens - la residencia oficial del vicepresidente.  the 63rd anniversary jug-a-lug was fun, celebrating in new york - thanks to David & Dolly Gomez, hosts. the affair served in a silver platter with the feel good sense of pinoy flavor.  it was such a 'trip' - food trip, laughing trip, karaoke trip, nostalgic trip, sleeping trip and the best of them all, kantiyawan trip. i would guess the same thing was happening all over the betan world. 

postings at other betan websites (access limited/ registration - log in required) give a clear picture of their kind of celebration, in the philippines - manila south, congratulations Dan Noveno SBC '77, incoming GP, then  zamboanga - "bonding and strengthening", then bataan - beta sigma and sigma beta tree planting program, then baguio benguet mountain province - "continuing the legacy through new beginnings" , then silliman university - "all that is good and noble in man", then la union - deworming of large animals, a tree planting is scheduled on the 19th, then university of northern philippines - "salo-salo sa unp tambayan", then ilocos norte - "frat ball" - induction and feeding program, then zamboanga sibugay - "climbing barriers" - induction with brod congressman Cesar Jalosjos SU '71, then socksargen - "brotherhood without borders" - with north america federation president Sonny Pagador UP '76B,

in other parts of the betan world, (coming soon)...

meanwhile here in the big apple, we extend our love & greet you...
