The Tau Beta Sigma Alumni Association offers different levels of membership for everyone. Whether you’re an alumni or life member of an active chapter, are looking to participate in or start a local alumni association, or would like to support the organization, there are options for you. The TBSAA membership year runs from July 1 through June 30 annually.
Information on the various types of membership/participation is found below.
TBS Alumni can join or renew their TBSAA membership by filling out the Online Membership Form.
Gold Star Club – $75
Alumni, Life, and Honorary members of Tau Beta Sigma can enhance their participation by joining TBSAA with Gold Star Club status. Gold Star Club members receive all of the benefits of the Standard Membership, plus a special commemorative gift, an annual conference call with the Executive Council, recognition in The Rhapsody and The Podium, access to special member-only events at national conventions, and more to be announced.
Standard Membership – $46
TBSAA standard Alumni membership is open to all alumni, Life, and honorary members of the Sorority in good standing who wish to support the mission of the organization, attend various district and national events, and possibly participate in a local alumni association (LAA).
Alumni members are able to attend district and national events and conventions, receive a membership gift, a subscription to our newsletter The Entr’Acte, the bi-annual TBSAA magazine, The Rhapsody, access to participate in TBSAA national networking, philanthropic, and professional development programs, and membership in LAAs.
LAA-Only Membership – $19
Alumni, Life, and Honorary members of the Sorority who would like to activate their TBSAA membership for the purposes of participating in or founding local alumni associations (LAAs), can purchase an LAA-Only membership. This level of membership includes a subscription to our newsletter, The Entr’Acte, and status to be counted on the roster as a dues-paid member of TBSAA when submitting reports to the TBSAA. Members who are at the LAA-Only level are not sent a membership card, but instead receive an email receipt, and cannot attend district or national events or conventions. LAAs may charge a separate, local membership fee or dues.
Local Alumni Associations (LAAs)
LAAs, organized local groups of alumni, can be recognized by the Tau Beta Sigma Alumni Association. LAAs may be based around a city, chapter, district, college/university or geographic region. LAAs can be founded to serve TBS alumni or to serve jointly with alumni of Kappa Kappa Psi.
To be recognized as a Local Alumni Association of the TBSAA, ALL members must be in good standing with the Tau Beta Sigma Alumni Association for the current membership year.
Additionally, joint LAAs with alumni members of Kappa Kappa Psi must have at least two of the joint officers with current dues-paid membership in good standing with the TBSAA.
Each LAA will need to renew their recognition annually, with the recognition year following the membership year of July 1 through June 30. An Annual Report will be required to renew LAA recognition.
