beta sigma lambda

Today, batch 34 of beta sigma lambda sorority is celebrating their 4th year anniversary. The batch name: BRAVEHEARTS. Batch 34 is composed of Jane, Roxanne and Me. Time really flies…

Beta Sigma Lambda means brotherhood of leaders and scholars. Since we are a sorority -- then it's Sisterhood of Leaders and Scholars. I joined the sorority for the reason that I believed in their objectives and insights. The first and foremost of which is to make good, successful lawyers. Of course not to mention the privileges of having a "brother" or "sister" as a professor and the "sample" exams from way way back. It's not easy to join BEA. One has to undergo one week of service, mental examination that is composed of written and oral examination and of course, one must survive the initiation rites. One week service connotes that you will do all the things you are asked to do. You may be asked to deliver pizza, roses, chocolates and other stuff to the alumnae of the sorority. Dressed up in the way that your masters asked of you, you'll introduce yourself to your "Lady Master". Until you are accepted, you're not allowed to look at your Lady Master in the eye.. You have to be a step lower. The Lady Master has the right to ask you to do errands whenever she sees you. You are a slave after all, no personality, no rights. The Oral examination - you are asked by the master questions regarding personal life, your insights and academics. Ask you to recite the Law and define terms. Then you'll undergo "Last Supper" the last day of service, you get to eat dinner with the masters and just enjoy their company. It's a truce so to speak before the big day (initiation proper) . Initiation Rites: with the vow of secrecy I made to my sisters. I'm not going to write about that special day. After the said initiation rites, if one is accepted she will be under probation for a period of 6 months. So she can still be kicked out from the sorority.

Our batch name: Bravehearts.. I don't know why we came up with this name. All I can think of is that we were brave enough to apply. They didn't recruit us, we applied. We were brave enough to do that. Anyway, what past is past-- I can only be grateful that JANE is my batchmate. Why? *grins* when she uhmmm hits.. she hits good. Hehehe! Jane and I are going to celebrate our 4th year anniversary tomorrow. Where? We still don't know..
