Let’s Fall into this year’s Beta season!

Former President of the United States of America Barack Obama once said, “The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out there and make good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” So ask yourself Betas, what are you doing for others? Are you making a positive change in your community and in the lives of others? I’ve learned that there is a difference between successful people and others. It is not the lack of strength or of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

Earlier this month we attended the 2017 Leadership Summit at Great Wolfe Lodge. We brought back more trophies for Rock Hill High. Congratulations to Jenna Shaefer, Reina McCullough, Sydney Bonaparte, Madison Reed, Nicole Freeman, Reem Hassan, Jada Brown, Maiyanna McDaniel, Sharisse McPhail for all their dedication and hard work. We ladies took home the win for Rapid Response and Lead Outside the Box. In addition, our chapter vice-president Reina was chosen as a National Beta Club leadership representative candidate to represent us at state and national conventions this year and next year’s leadership summit. These ladies learned how to be better leaders, network, and provide others with an understanding of what’s it’s like to be a Beta. Way to go Lady Bearcats!

As the last leaves begin to fall and the time for bonfires with a cup of hot chocolate arrives, so does our 2018 South Carolina state convention. The National Beta Club state convention is hosted annually in Myrtle Beach. This year the dates are February 8-11, 2018. Our goal this year is to have at least 40 Beta members from all grades to attend state, representing Rock Hill High School. Words can’t truly explain the wonderful experience gained at state convention. There are competitions that fit everyone’s character and abilities; see Mrs. T (A-230) for a list of all available competitions. If you aren’t sure about competing this year, you can make this your vacation to relax and be part of a terrific experience. #ROHIBETA boys, we know you are out there, so please join us on this learning adventure as well. If you know of any other Betas with killer special talents or mad knowledge skills, send them our way! If you missed our convention night informational meeting last week, check out link to the meeting from Remind/Twitter/Facebook posts for cost, details, and available competitions. For further questions feel to contact our club sponsors or officers.

As always, don’t forget to check out the calendar for upcoming service opportunities   and meet the requirements to maintain the status of an RHHS Beta. All members need to complete an event, charity, and fundraiser, as well as maintain at least a 3.75 GPA before the end of 1^st semester.
