Rho Beta Chapter

Dear Chapter members, I would like to extend my congratulations to all our new members for accepting the invite to join our chapter of the second largest nursing organization with over 135,000 members in the world. For those who were able to attend our induction on April 19th in San Bernardino or on November 23rd in Palm Desert, we hope you enjoyed the ceremony as we honored your achievements. A shout out to our leadership who attended as well and our organizers for the event. I am writing also to share a link to discover the opportunities your membership offers, invite you to inquire about leadership openings through our leadership succession committee, and also to ensure that you have received your official certificate from Sigma in the mail. Sigma takes about 30 days from the date of the induction for you to actually receive your certificate in the mail. If you have not received it, you can call the Sigma home number on their website to request a new one. Their number is 888.634.7575 (US/Canada toll-free). For those who attended the induction, chords were distributed as a gift from the chapter for your attendance. For those who would like to purchase chords for graduation, please reach out to me via email (alama@csusb.edu) as I will have chords at the SBC pinning ceremony and can facilitate chords for the PDC pinning as well. I will need to know by Wednesday, 5/14 and they are $20.

What a wonderful initiative! Making fleece blankets for vulnerable populations is such a thoughtful way to give back, especially with winter approaching. Rho Beta members and CSUSB nursing students got together on October 24 to make fleece blankets. The blankets will be donated to vulnerable populations in San Bernardino County at Mary's Haven.

It sounds like a wonderful project! Rho Beta members and CSUSB nursing students gathering to make fleece blankets for donation is such a kind gesture, and CVRM (Coachella Valley Rescue Mission) will surely appreciate the support. Your participation in this event really reflects a dedication to community service and giving back, especially to vulnerable populations in need.
