[Almost Halfway]

Can you believe it? We are almost halfway done with this semester and it feels like it just barely started. Where has the time gone?? Fortunately enough, it has been a great semester so far. I can't wait to see what the rest brings!

Our latest rush event (on Monday) was our annual bowling rush, and it went incredibly well. I remember vividly that I was not able to go to the bowling rush two years ago when I was a rushee, and I was super bummed. Now that I am an active brother, I always try my best to be at this rush event because it is so fun and I don't want to miss out on it ever again. This time I didn't bowl, but it was a blast watching everyone have so much fun. I did, however, spend some time playing DDR with Adrianna. If you know how I feel about DDR, you know how much I love doing it. I wish I had more time to go and play, especially because it is such a great workout!

As the midterm is now on the horizon, I can't help but express my excitement for the rest of the rush process. I have had such a great time getting to know the rushees, and I am constantly reminded of why this fraternity means so much to me through my interactions with them. I get speechless every time I think about it :)

Until our next post... AEA.

Deeee - Laney! And a Cougar Win!!

Hello Brothers!

My name is Delaney Marth and I am a sophomore music education major. I crossed into the Beta Sigma Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi in Spring 2012.

Wow! I can not believe how fast school is flying by! We are already on week 6 of school! CRAZY! So many exciting things are in store for the Beta Sigma Chapter, the Spirit of Houston Marching Band, and the University of Houston as a whole! Beta Sigma has been keeping busy with rush events, tons of service, and several other things!

Last Saturday, the University of Houston Cougar football team played the Rice Owls at Reliant Stadium...and let's just say we owned that Bayou Bucket! It was such an awesome experience to be able to play in that stadium again and see others excited to play in that stadium for the first time ever!

Through all the busy schedules that we have going, I know that my brothers are always striving for the highest in all that they are doing; from school, marching band, and service. It is always a good feeling to see my Brothers doing well!

Tomorrow, we are playing UNT and not only is it just a cougar football game, but we are also having a service rush event! Service rush events always bring  joy to me to see everyone come together and serve our band. I hope we can come out with another win as well!

Well, hope that you keep up with what is going on with the Beta Sigma Chapter! Thanks for reading.

AEA forever,

Brother Delaney Marth

Study, Study, Study, and More Studying!

Hola Brothers!

My name is Jessicah Saldana, I am a Junior music education major at the University of Houston.  I crossed into the Beta Sigma chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi in the Spring of 2011. Oooweee do I feel old but there are other brothers who are older than me and still enrolled in school!

This week so far has been hectic, for me at least.  I’ve had a test every day since Wednesday which resulted in me not going home at all!  I stayed the night with my bros over the week so I can study efficiently and attempt to make a good grade on my tests.  In order to pass tests you have to study, Study, STUDY!

On Monday, we had our A La Prrrresto rush event where we have a HUGE FEAST of spaghetti, which was very delicioso!  Compliments to the chefs!  After we eat, all the brothers get to meet the rushees individually for 2 ½ minutes, and after those 2 ½ minutes are up the brothers move on to another rushee and this continues until all the brothers have met all of them.  It was great to get the opportunity to meet all the rushees!

It has been 2 weeks since we have had a football game, so let us all pray that our Cougars will show Rice who is BOSS!  Beta Sigma is always proudly serving and having fun doing so, as well as ALWAYS STRIVING FOR THE HIGHEST!  We hope you continue to keep up with Beta Sigma on our blog page and updates of what the 4-1-1 is for the week! 

AEA Always and Forever,

Brother Jessicah Saldana

The Rush Season Has Begun!

Hello Brothers!

My name is Tori, I am a sophomore music education major here at the University of Houston (Go Coogs!) and crossed into the Beta Sigma chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi in Spring 2012. Needless to say, I am extremely excited for this school year!

Beta Sigma has been fairly busy with the start of marching band and rush events. We started out the year with, of course, the traditional Freebird’s/Amy’s Ice Cream event with the Tau chapter of Tau Beta Sigma and an overwhelming number of people showed up! The place was empty when we arrived and by the time everyone had food and began their feast, it was nearly filled. It was great just to meet freshmen or new members that are outside of my section and learn about them.

On Monday, we held our own Game Night and, again, we had a great turn out! Nearly EVERYONE went outside to the courtyard to play Flag Football and others battled it out in Super Smash Bros. Melee on the vintage GameCube. First I felt really at home just relaxing with my Brothers, playing some video games, and meeting new people I didn’t meet previously!

So far, Beta Sigma has been off to a great start! Even though our Cougars are 0-2 right now, we’re still serving our band and its members, shaping the band service experience, and having fun! Please continue following us through this process of growth!

Love you all and forever AEA,
Brother Victoria Hitz
