Our Purpose:
   As sisters of Tau Beta Sigma, we strive to do whatever it takes to serve the band and the community. Through all of the service we do, we have formed strong bonds with our sisters that join us. We all have one thing in common: music. Betas possess qualities of leadership, loyalty, humility, service, and a caring attitude. To be a Beta is to not only be a leader, but a servant. Our Greek letters do not put us above the band; instead those letters give us the honor of serving our band with pride.
   Beta Delta, TCU's chapter of Tau Beta Sigma, has done over 50 years of band service. Helping out is part of our tradition, therefore we are happy to serve and bring our joy of service to others.

 

Beta Delta Chapter Mission Statement:
The Beta Delta Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma focuses on serving the Texas Christian University Band program, its members, its directors, and the community in which it resides. Through active involvement and continual selfless service, the organization leads to leadership development in all its members. We, the members of Beta Delta, continually focus our shared respect for music and honor our devoted ability to endlessly serve others.

 

 

TCU’s chapter is the Beta Delta chapter based at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX.  We have rush events in the fall and begin the initiation process in early spring.  While our chapter is exclusively female, we welcome any perspective band members to come to our events!  We aim to serve our band and our community while being friends and sisters.  Our brother organization, the Gamma Sigma chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, shares a similar mission and set of values.  We often work together to accomplish the best service to the band. 

 

Some traditions Beta Delta follows include calling our prospective members, Taus, our active and conditionals, Betas, and our alumni, Sigmas.  Each class has a unique theme, often a cartoon character.  Each family line (bigs/littles) have a unique theme as well, usually involving their own traditions.  We have a big brother partnership through KKY, and have family lines that circulate through their family lines as well.  Another tradition we have is the annual guard-the-gate before we play our school rivalry, SMU.    A newer idea we have utilized is joint rush events, joint service activities, and other small secrets you might discover as a member.
