TBS, short for Tau Beta Sigma, is a national co-ed sorority dedicated to service in band programs with a focus in equity, inclusion, and empowering women in music.
The organization is committed to working in both bands and communities alike to offer helping hands in community projects, musical education, and a number of other services.
TBS chapters around the country exist in college bands in order to promote musicianship and leadership in such a way that it can be shared with others. For more information on TBS values and goals, visit our national website.
What is Tau Beta Sigma?
Who is Gamma Omega?
The Gamma Omega chapter of TBS is part of the Pitt Band at the University of Pittsburgh. We are often the first people new members and returners of the band see as we help check everyone in, pass out Nike gear, and fit each person in their Pitt Band uniform.
Throughout the fall semester, we assist in uniform and raincoat care, distribute food during travel, and host fun events that support the members of the Pitt Band. Learn more about the types of service and events we complete here!
As an honorary service sorority, whenever there is service to be done, there will be a TBS sister ready to help!
