always wanted a
large family. Two years
ago, when she became
New Hampshire Beta's
house director, her
wish came true and
her family of five grew
to a family of 40. "It's
a neat and rewarding
experience when the
men come to you,"
she said. "It's nice to
watch them grow and mature. After that first
year they seem to get it. It's great to see them
grow like that."
Mom Sue's days are never boring. Coming in
each morning to begin cleaning and prepping
for the day, she always has something to
do, a question to answer, or a meal to cook.
In the two years she's been house director,
she's come to know each member by name
and gets along great with each one of them.
"This year's even better," she said. "They're
more open to change. I don't think they had
guidance or anyone telling them what to do
before and now they all chip in. They're one
unit and they work together."
From hearing her name yelled as she pulls in
the driveway to watching brothers decorate the
chapter house for the holidays, Sue has come
to have countless favorite memories. Having
two daughters of her own, Sue has enjoyed the
opportunity to work with young men. "Watching
them move out is like saying goodbye to your
own kids when they leave for college," she said.
"I tell them all the time to enjoy their college
years because life comes very quick and fast.
Learn to enjoy yourself because the real world
isn't as laid back as college."
The chapter has implemented a rule that
everyone is responsible for themselves, but
they all take care of each other. Sue tells New
Hampshire Beta brothers the same advice she
tells her daughters—if something happens, tell
her and they'll take care of any situation from
there. Her open and understanding personality
translates into the kitchen as well, where she
doesn't believe in shutting the door. "I try to
make it more like they're at home," she said.
"I talk to them on a daily basis, know them by
name, and we joke a lot."
Sue and her husband, Sam, have two
daughters, Sydney May and Samantha. Sue
enjoys spending time with her first grandson,
