Gold Rose Formal

One of the traditional social functions all Beta Sigs partake in is the spring Gold Rose Formal. This event can be paralleled to an extended prom. The only difference is that the Gold Rose Formal is a weekend event usually occurring out of state.

In 2002, members traveled to the Lake of the Ozarks for a fun-filled weekend. A dinner was scheduled for Saturday evening with a dance that followed.

Members and their dates have often commented on this fun and exciting weekend and often repeat the experience in the next year. As well, other chapters of Beta Sigma Psi often jump on the bandwagon and join in the festivities.

Pledge/Active Party

In the fall, the newly joined associate members throw the active body the annual Pledge/Active. This event usually takes place at an outside vendor and gives the opportunity for members to find a date and have a fun-filled Friday night.

Each Pledge/Active incorporates a theme for the night's events and members are encouraged to dress accordingly. In the past we have bad the “Beta Sig Buccaneer Bash”, the “Beta Sig Headbanger’s Ball” and the “Beta Sig Mash Bash”. From the wild pirate costumes to the hair bands of the '80's, all Beta Sigs go all out for this amazingly good time.

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 football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, softball and track to name a few.

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 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.

Every semester, Beta Sigs try to host at least 3 community service projects. These projects range from the semester highway cleanup to ushering at McCain Auditorium.

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.
