The YWCA is a Christian mem- bership organization, administer- ed through a volunteer - profes- sional partnership -- Committees and Board members working with staff members on each and every project. The Association utilizes democratic procedure and up-to- date business methods in its ad- ministration, seeking by every means possible to be as self-sup- porting as is consistent with ren- dering good service. In fulfilling its community functions, the YWCA draws on the skills and methods of sociai work, Christian education, physical and health education and adult education. The YWCA in the local com- munity is greatly strengthened through contacts, privileges and responsibilities of being part of a national and world movement. In trying to carry out the functions and purpose of the organization, the local association is assisted in its program and administration by the Community Chest and, in contributing to the Community Chest, the citizens of the com- Beta Sigma Phi Cultural Sorority cultural and eivic organization ii was formed by Walter W. Ross in Abilene, Kansas, U.S.A. in 1931 with only seven members. Since then it /has expanded to over 4500 chapters with more than 130,000 members around the world. A member may transfer from chapter to chapter as she lives and travels about. The first Oshawa chapter was formed in the fall of 1954 with 12 members. Beta Sigma Phi's do things to- gether. They work, play and learn together. And ause of this many close friefidships are formed among members, friend- ships that are among the most cherished treasures a young woman can possess, friendships that are hers in time of joy and in time of sorrow. A member of Beta Sigma Phi meejs with her chapter sisters twice a month for a short busi ness meeting and a cultural pro- gram in which everyone present participates. She enjoys their company at social events throughout the year -- at rush parties, banquets, picnics, danc- es. 'And she works with them on service projects.
