Administrative history
Founded in 1931, Beta Sigma Phi is an international women's organization that focuses on stimulating personal growth and development of its members through cultural and social programs and through service to others. Members volunteer for such activities as blood donor clinics, daffodil day, and meals on wheels. The organization supports various charities. Beta Sigma Phi was established in Peterborough in 1944. In 2007, a new chapter called Beta Sigma Phi Ontario, Laureate Epsilon Lambda Chapter (Peterborough) was started. This chapter grew in size and in 2014 adopted a new name: Beta Sigma Phi, Delta Lambda Master Chapter (Peterborough).
