HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN AT A BETA CONVENTION BANQUET
1. Introduce yourself and shake hands with all of your tablemates. (But leave the wimpy and bone-crushing handshakes at home.) 2. Keep your coat on throughout the banquet – not on the chair back. 3. If a woman or alumnus approaches the table to be seated, rise out of respect and introduce yourself. (Rise again if she excuses herself from the table at some point.) 4. Avoid checking your cell phone throughout the banquet. It’s disrespectul to the brothers around you, not to mention the speakers and award winners on stage. 5. Begin eating only after the Beta Doxology has been sung. 6. Begin eating only after everyone has been served but not until the women at the table have lifted their forks. (If the table is all-male, wait until the eldest has begun.) 7. Pass food to your left. 8. Pass the salt and pepper together. 9. Cut one bite at a time . . . not several pieces. 10. Never leave a spoon in a bowl, cup or glass. 11. Place the knife and fork on the edge of the plate while eating, in the center when finished. 12. Keep your napkin in your lap. 13. Use silverware from the outside in. 14. Use the restroom prior to the banquet and, if necessary, during dessert but never while someone is speaking. 15. Engage your tablemates in good conversation and stay focused on the presentations and speakers. You’ll be amazed at how it adds to your
Convention experience!
