Congratulations to Allison Kish Manuel '11 on her wedding. Sisters gather to celebrate the wedding of Katlin Portman Baldwin '11.
e are one year away from our 40th reunion scheduled during Homecoming, on
October 15, 2016. The 1976 pledge class was the largest (64) in Beta Sigma's
history and increased our chapter size from 48 to more than 80. Many who attended the
50th anniversary of the Beta Sigma Chapter in 1998 will recall how much fun we had,
both at the reunion and in the planning.
It is now time to start planning for the 40th reunion. We are seeking liaisons and
hostesses throughout the U.S. to help us plan the event, spread the word, and/or host
those who may not be able to travel to Purdue but would love to join other sisters in
California, Florida, Texas, etc. Join us on the Beta Sigma Alumnae Facebook page for
continued updates or contact Cinda "Smack" Zimmack-Terry '76 at cinda.terry@
dukerealty.com or Julie Barnhouse Walker '76 at julie.e.b.walker@gmail.com to
continue our adventure.
