Sorority plans35tllTbirthday event From a group of friends who got together once a week to sit and knit or just chat, grew one of Exeter's most thriving social service organizations - the Ontario Alpha Pi Chapter of the Inter- national sorority, Beta Sigma Phi. Thirty-five years ago, in 1947, Irene Beaupre, whose father owned the store at the north end of Exeter, persuad- ed her friends to organize themselves under Beta Sigma Phi to which she had belong- ed in Washington when she worked there during the Se- cond World War. Although there is emphasis placed on cultural and social activities, the mainthrust of the sorority is in its social service. Right from the begin- ning, the 26 active members of Alpha Pi started to work for the betterment of the community. In 1970 the membership. became so large an exemplar chapter, Xi Gamma Nu Chapter was formed and again in 1977 a preceptor chapter, Beta Theta Chapter was organized. Today the membership of the three chapters, totals 60 active 1 women. To .'commemmorate this NEW EXECUTIVE - The new executive of the Xi Gamma Nu Sorority was named recently.
