Gamma Xi at-Large Chapter president Brittany Beasley took it upon herself to expand her chapter to be an at-large chapter. By doing so, she was able to see firsthand the long-lasting impact of the legacy of Sigma.
Sigma member and proud volunteer Brittany Beasley, PhD, RN, CNE, first became involved with Sigma while pursuing her PhD at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Nursing in 2015. Since her induction, she has risen from the ranks of treasure and vice president to being elected as Gamma Xi at-Large Chapter’s president in 2021.
Through participation and engagement at Sigma sponsored events, Brittany gained firsthand insight into the impactful work being done by Sigma and the avenues through which she could contribute as a volunteer. This insight into the Sigma community ultimately inspired her to pursue volunteer opportunities aligned with her passion for nursing and commitment to professional development.
One of Brittany’s most memorable and proudest experiences during her time volunteering with Sigma was leading the initiative to amend her chapter’s charter. This significant endeavor involved expanding the chapter's reach to encompass five additional universities and colleges of nursing across Arkansas, solidifying its status as an at-large chapter. The culmination of this effort was marked by an impactful chapter amendment ceremony held in 2023.
Amidst the celebration and sense of accomplishment, one moment stands out in Brittany’s memory: the opportunity to meet Ms. Jan Bowen, an original charter member of the Gamma Xi Chapter dating back to 1978. Meeting Ms. Bowen at the ceremony was not only a humble experience but also a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy and impact of Sigma. Brittany was honored to connect with someone who had played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for her chapter's growth and evolution over the years.
To anyone considering volunteering with Sigma, Brittany says, “Sigma Nursing embraces the individual journey of each volunteer and understands that life responsibilities may fluctuate. Whether you have a few hours to spare each month or can dedicate more time, Sigma Nursing values and supports your contribution. Sigma Nursing is what you make it. Your involvement can be as fulfilling and manageable as you choose, and the organization is there to support you every step of the way.”
Brittany Beasley, PhD, RN, CNE, currently works as a Clinical Assistant Professor for the College of Nursing at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Brittany is the president of Gamma Xi at-Large Chapter.
