A Brief History on the Sorority
In 1937, Wava Banes, Emily Surrell and Rosell Williams presented the first practical idea for forming
a National Band Sorority. Tau Beta Sigma was designed to serve as an honorary service and leadership recognition society.
In 1946 the woman of Texas Tech Tau Beta Sigma Band Sorority surrendered their assets to Oklahoma State University Band Club.
On March 26, 1946, a charter was granted to Tau Beta Sigma and in 1947 were given the rights of the sister organization to
Kappa Kappa Psi.
Mission Statement
Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Band Sorority provides service to the collegiate bands, encourages
the advancement of women in the band profession, and promotes and enriches an appreciation of band music through recognition,
leadership development, and education of its members.
