Concessions Manager Update!

10/24/2012

1 Comment

 
Hello sisters!

I’m Emily Hudson and I am the Concessions Manager (or ConMan) for Tau Beta. I was also the ConMan all last year so I think I’ve got this office down to a tee :) 

Picture
I’m a senior Speech Pathology major with a minor in ASL Interpreting. I crossed with Serendipity in Spring of 2010 (and I love them all so much!).

So as everyone in Iota and Beta Alpha knows, I’m pretty particular about how I like my candy set up. But I think its important to make the candy and drinks appealing to the eye!  :)

This year I am replacing those AWFUL huge green wooden display things with light plastic bins. We don’t use the wooden displays to display the candy anymore and they are WAY too heavy to carry the candy from the closet to the booths. It’s silly of us to keep them! I told the K Psi’s we might even have a commemorative bonfire with them. Wouldn’t that be fun to have a mini-Homecoming bonfire with the alumni?

I have also ordered nicer tip jars for the booths. People seem to really enjoy our customer service AND it’s for a good cause – FOR GREATER BANDS!

 

I am looking forward to another awesome year as the Iota ConMan. I love this office!

ITB,
Emily

"I SURVIVED TBΣ CRUSH" 

10/22/2012

0 Comments

 
Hi, I’m Kim and I’m social chair this year. We just celebrated crush on October 7th with a survivor theme! We played assassins in teams with tau betas as “assassins” and their crushes as their “body-guards.” We drew names and the name we drew became our target we had to assassinate by stealing a clothespin they wore on the outside of their clothes. Once a tau beta assassinated another, she got her target until one winner was left. 

After all the alliances, surprise attacks, broken clothes pins, and silly distractions, the lovely Sara Bitting was the last tau beta with her clothespin. 

We also had a volleyball tournament, tug-o-war tournament, baking contest, and a game of capture the tau (capture the flag, but with decoy taus!). Despite a random cold front and one of our decoy taus getting stolen, it was a pretty fun day :3

ITB, 
Kim

We're not really sure what's going on in this picture, so feel free to comment with a great caption!

This is a great picture of everyone playing assassins! We were all so paranoid! It was exhausting, but so much fun!

A little blurry, but you get the idea :3

Yay volleyball! All the Tau Beta's were super paranoid while playing these games, that most of us just asked our "body guards" to play for us! We would just stand in the middle and look pretty :3

Look! It's a full sized Mr. Bill!

Interview with Delta!

Hi, I’m Kim and I’m Secretary for Iota :3

A (large) part of my job is correspondence with other chapters and I just wanted to give a shout-out to our lovely “Delta Doll” sisters at OU who were kind enough to answer some of my questions about their chapter:

How many members do you have at your chapter?

We have 44 wonderful Sistaus!

When is your chapter’s birthday?

We were founded on April 28, 1946.

What are some events and activities your chapter has participated in?

Some of the things we do include monthly dress-up chapters where we have our social head pick a theme (like rock star chapter, or halloween chapter), we do a lot of joint social events with KKY (this summer we did a camping trip and it was so much fun!), we also are planning on a Sisterhood retreat this year (for the first time) and we are so pumped. The Delta Dolls also do an annual Pride Work Day in which we help our band director with any and all tasks that will make our band camp go smoothly (we make music folders, help with instruments, help line and "tick" the practice field, etc), we help band freshmen move into the dorms, we help with band camp, we help distribute uniforms and the great Nike apparel we all get, we help with game day tasks (passing out plumes, passing out food, cleaning up, etc.), we help usher our School of Music's performances, we hold receptions for some of our music ensembles after concerts, we host an Alumni reception during our homecoming week, we help collect and deliver canned food to our local Christmas Store, we have participated in Habitat for Humanity as well as "The Big Event" which is a campus wide service event where we help out around the Norman community. This isn't everything we do, but I think you all get the idea ;)

What is something you would like to share about your chapter?

Our chapter could have been the second national chapter, but our founders decided to wait until the fourth so that we could be the first "twin" chapters with our brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi. We take a lot of pride in being the twin chapters of Delta. :) Also, one of our own Delta sisters, Dorothy Allen Nichols, became the fourth National President of Tau Beta Sigma. We have also hosted SWD Convention twice!

We also received a lovely letter from Beta Gamma this week telling us about the great service they have done for the University of Texas Longhorn band as well as the service they have done for their community (like volunteering at the Ann Richards School for Girls!).

We love hearing from other chapters and learning about our sisters all across the country, despite any school rivalries that may exist, ;) – thanks again, Delta and Beta Gamma! :3

President Report!

9/4/2012

Hi! My name is Lynn, and I am the president this year of the Iota chapter! 

Picture
This is me at the Lady Bear’s Final Four Championships in Denver, CO playing with the Courtside Players! (On the right is my wonderful boyfriend, Cole!)

So being the President this year has been a lot of fun so far! Though I’m not so fond of the paperwork, I get to see all of the big picture stuff that goes on: planning for Musical Bear Scouts by Nicky (a service project where we help Girl Scouts earn some of their music badges), Crush by Kim (still working on approval by Student Activities, but her idea is just awesome! I am sure more will come about that later), rush events by our VP Heather, etc.

My biggest goal as President is the betterment of the sisterhood. What sorts of things can we do better? What else can we do to serve the bands? We really want to focus on being the absolute best that we can be with more service opportunities, loving on our sisters in our chapter and around the country, and being a great presence in our band program. I am so excited to serve as President this year. I cannot wait to see what amazing things our chapter can do this year and in years to come.

And now, enough talking, let me share a fun picture with one of my sisters!

Picture
This picture is from the Albuquerque Zoo when we were on the 2nd & 3rd Round tournament trip with the Men’s Basketball team with the Baylor Courtside Players! This is Heather (VP and Webmaster) and I (I’m on the left), pretending to be flamingoes! Enough said!

MLITB and MOTS,

Lynn

Chaplain Update!

Hi everybody!  Allyson here, your TBΣ Iota chaplain!  I am so thankful to God that we have started a new year filled with opportunities to love God, embrace beauty, and live life to the fullest.  Although my main function in meeting is to open us in prayer and collect and distribute praises and prayer requests, I am also blessed with the responsibility of promoting spiritual health and growth within the sisterhood.  This semester I have started a bible study that meets every other week.  Last week we met for the first time and discussed the power of words, and how to speak life.  Proverbs 12:18 says that “The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”  We explored ways to apply these words from the Lord to our lives and our relationships with our sisters.  I am hoping that God will continue to use these times to reveal to us how to be Christlike in our sisterhood and in our world. 

ITB,
Allyson
