About me: Beta Beta Gamma is a social sorority that takes pride in its sisters as well as helping out in the community.
Before Beta Beta Gamma was officially recognized on the University Campus by SOSA, it was a mixed social group of men and women with an executive board of five and an active membership of 15.
On March 13, 1947, the group (which at this time was still not a sorority) became officially recognized by the University as a campus organization with all the rights and privileges of such an organization accorded it. The membership still consisted of both men and women and fostered interest in the Korean culture. The president was Mr. Morris Pang and the advisor was Dr. Edgar W. Vinacke with an active membership of 22. The coed organization had a pledge class of eleven.
By July 21, 1947, though the group was still officially a coed organization the male members of Beta Beta Gamma had left the group and had organized a fraternity and the women of the group were earnestly trying to establish Beta Beta Gamma as a sorority. The women of the year are thus the founding mothers of the sorority.
On June 2, 1948, Beta Beta Gamma was officially recognized as a sorority on the University campus by SOSA and BSA.
From this year until the 1960-1961 school year, the sorority usually took in Korean women. Although there was no rule stipulating that it was restricted to an only Korean membership, at the time most of the sororities on campus were comprised of one ethnicity.
Since 1962, Beta Beta Gamma has had a cosmopolitan membership. Through shared experiences, sisterhood transcends through the years.
I agree. We should go to Kailua Bay to barbecue and then go over to Lanikai or somewhere where everyone will feel comfortable swimming (like me since I'm pretty scared of monster waves) and I still got the cardboard! First things first, sending out the e-mail about the bake sale and slave for a day!
Hey girls! The BBG http://www2.hawaii.edu/~bbg website looks awesome!!! I can definitely tell a lot of hard work went into it. Good luck with the new pledging season and school year.
