On Tuesday, August 27th, the new Beta Chi Website was officially declared open. The test version of this site was published on August 20th in order to work out all of the bugs.

If you signed the guestbook that briefly appeared towards the end of last week, or just tried to sign it over the weekend but couldn't, you are encouraged to go back and sign it again.

The website that this one is replacing was originally published in 1998 and was awarded Honorable Mention in that year's SAI National Collegiate Website Competition. We can only hope this one does as well.
