Social Activities

Beta Sigma Psi National Fraternity was created to enhance social interaction and skills of its members. With a host of guys having varying majors, there is always someone near to turn to. Beta Sigs have always taken pride in their ability to relax and enjoy the college experience. Such social activities include the Mom's and Dad's Weekends, intramural sports, community service, trips to other chapters and Homecoming.

The relationships forged within Beta Sigma Psi will prove to be most important during your time at college and will follow throughout your life. You will find your fellow brothers providing support and mentoring throughout your time at college. Through these relationships and the development of your communication and personal skills, your professional and personal lives will benefit.

 

Parent's Weekend

Beta Sigma Psi also holds a Dad’s Weekend taking place in the fall semester and a Mom’s Weekend in the spring semester.

Events for the weekend usually include bowling, trap shooting, putt-putt golfing or the local k-state football or basketball game. For the mom’s weekend, events are quite similar although the mom’s club usually meets early in the morning and a formal luncheon follows.

Intramural Sports

Sports are major events during your high school years. Fraternity life can help keep your competitive nature going. Through fraternity leagues, Beta Sigma Psi competes in flag football, basketball, volleyball, softball, and soccer to name a few.  There are also individual sports that members can play in as well.

All games are head to head giving members the chance to relive those memories during your high school years. Whether it is on the field or the court, Beta Sigs always compete and exemplify good sportsmanship.

Most events take place at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex. This multi-million dollar facility has everything you would ever want from weight lifting to ping pong. If intramurals isn’t for you, many of our members routinely visit the “rec” to play a late night pick up game of basketball or to weight-lift.

Community Service

One of the One of the basic principles of fraternity life is the incorporation of community service. As the community of Manhattan has provided much support and benefits to the greek community, Beta Sigma Psi strives to give back for what we have received.

Community service can be in any form. Although there is no rule to the number of community service projects each member must particpate in, many members go out of their way everyday to give back to the community. Whether it be shoveling snow for our neighbors or visiting the elderly, all of our members actively help provide support and promote our greek and Manhattan community.

Homecoming

Homecoming was originally developed for alumni of both Kansas State University and Fraternities. Homecoming week intends to incorporate alumni in hopes for travel back to their alma mater.

During homecoming, fraternities are paired with sororities for festivities and events. These events include: float building, pomping, pant the chant, paint the ‘ville, various social functions, wildcat request live and many others. At the conclusion of the week, all of the floats are pulled down Poyntz and a winner for the week is announced.

These events promote the highest ideals of fraternity life and incorporate community service to help Manhattan and the college.
