Let’s start easy.  What’s your favorite color?
Baylor Gold :)
 
What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?
(Joint) Kickball/Cook Out
 
If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c:)?  And Why?
Yes- Tau Betas helped me so much my first semester at Baylor/in BUGWB. Getting to know each member during the MEP, forming friendships, and learning about what they accomplish together for the band, school, and community was an experience I’ll always cherish. Now that I’m a sister, I can’t wait to impact others with these amazing girls!

Leanna, Christina, and I dressed up as Ninja Turtles for the Halloween rush event.. Presenting our costumes to everyone was so much fun! 
What has been your favorite “non-TBS” TBS moment? 
Right before finals, I rounded up the Sole Sisters in my car and we went to eat honey butter chicken biscuits at Whataburger (it’s a tradition of ours)! I almost went the wrong way down a one-way street and freaked them out when I told them about Steve (the huge spider that lives in my backseat), but overall it was a great night! We’d come a long way from the awkward, shy girls we were when we met. I love my Sole Sisters :)

How do you feel about the Beta Alpha/Iota relations?
Beta Alpha and Iota accomplish a lot together, and we care for each other.

Brenna!
Let’s start easy.  What’s your favorite color?

Blue

What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?

All of them- I was the girl who went to every single one

If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c: )?  And Why?

Of course! Although, as long as we’re discussing time travel, I would keep going forward in time not backwards. Each year I have been a member of Tau Beta has been more memorable than the next. I have loved getting older and the perks that come along with it such as getting littles, (love you Sara and Adam!!) watching younger members learn secrets, holding larger offices, etc. TBS has been a wild and wonderful ride; there really is nothing else quite like it.

My big sister is Jeanne Knepper. Together, we are Jeabre. This is a picture of us being awesome (something we do on a daily basis)

My big brother is Brad Jarka. He was our Beau last year, which was tons of fun!! He lives just a few doors down from me and I love him so much!!

What has been your favorite official Tau Beta Sigma moment? 

I have had so many wonderful moments, but one that sticks out to me was watching my little sister Sara become a member. It was incredible getting to see a class cross anyways, but getting to see my little sis officially become my sister was such a wonderful moment. I was so proud of her and I had goose bumps the whole time : )

What has been your favorite “non-TBS” TBS moment? 

Everyday at my apartment with my lovely roommates. We are all pretty crazy to say the least. I love creeping on people out our windows, having fancy breakfast, decorating our walls with who knows what, and always being able to walk downstairs and find at least one person chilling on the couch no matter what time it is. I absolutely love living at 114 : )

Draw a picture of a turtle.

if anyone makes it through this entire video I’ll be very impressed. I didn’t even make it to her actual explanation

How do you feel about the Beta Alpha/Iota relations?

Well considering I knew what Kappa Kappa Psi was before TBS since my older brother became a member when I was like 12, I’d say I’m a bit biased towards them. For anyone out there who has brothers, you’ll understand what I mean when I say that there’s nothing quite like the love and protection that comes from brothers. I love Beta Alpha.

What’s the best TBS or Iota thing you own and who gave it to you? 

My “Propeller girl and Semi-Webbed Toe Person” plaque is probably my favorite TBS thing. Jeanne gave it to me : ) If you are confused, that’s ok, inside jokes are the best part of TBS (or one of the best at least).


Sara!
Let’s start easy.  What’s your favorite color?

Definitely purple!

What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?

I didn’t go to a whole lot of rush events…just two I think. Soooo….I guess my favorite would be the Pancake Break. That was my first one and I really like to eat. I fit in Iota quite nicely! I remember really meeting Leanna, my MC class sister. We went to the same two rush events and basically convinced each other to join Tau Beta when we roomed together at the bowl game. I love her so much!!

If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c: )?  And Why?

First of all: DUH I would do it again. Joining Tau Beta is probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. It sounds cheesy but these girls are truly my sisters and will be forever and I have no doubt about that. MEP was AWESOME! Call me crazy, but I loved being with my MC sisters so much. I just always had a blast get everything done and we cannot forget about the lovely “purple dragon” that was created with Leanna – please don’t take that out of context.

My big brother is Daniel Quan or many people call him DQ. I NEVER call him by either of those. I always just yell “BIG BROTHER!” when I see him and he always calls me “Little Sister”  It’s now weird to say his name.

I put this picture up because big brother plays World of War Craft like..a lot. He keeps trying to get me to play, but I haven’t been fully convinced yet.


What has been your favorite official Tau Beta Sigma moment? 

Oh my goodness…I don’t want to copy Leanna BUT the purple dragon has definitely been my favorite memory. Now every time one of us goes….crazy we call it the “purple dragon phase.”

What has been your favorite “non-TBS” TBS moment?  

My favorite non-TBS moment was very recently with Christina!! I wanted to get out and do something and who is better to ask than Christina? I didn’t tell her what I had planned and needless to say she was very frightened. (I don’t know why because I tend to be a fairly calm person……..at least I remember being calm at one point in my life.) Well I picked her up from her dorm and we went to Taco Bell first because we are Tau Betas and we like to eat. Then we went to Wal-Mart where I explained that we needed a wig and a mask. So I got a clown wig and she got a blonde beautiful wig and we got matching masks. Then we went back to campus, assembled our costumes and knocked on people’s doors to give them candy! We also gave random people around campus candy if they weren’t too creeped out to take it from us. Apparently we looked like weirdos…Oh and did I mention we were singing at the top of our lungs while we did this? It was fabulous.

How do you feel about the Beta Alpha/Iota relations? 

AAAA I love my brothers!! I was absolutely shocked when I went to convention and found out that some chapters don’t get along with their brothers at all. I just felt really depressed for them because my brothers have gotten me through so much! I know they are always there to help me with anything I need. Plus, they are so awesomely entertaining all the time!

What’s the best TBS or Iota thing you own and who gave it to you? 

Well since I am Keeper I get to take care of our Tau the Betta fish! He is so awesome and I wish I could keep him forever!

Brittany!
Let’s start easy.  What’s your favorite color?


Well my MC name is Orange, so that's up there.  I also really love pink and yellow.  Let's go with yellow. 

What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?
This is a hard one because I went to every single one in the fall... My favorite was probably Mrs. Kraus' Formal Tea (How is that for showing my age?).  The Sponsor/Directors wife hosted a formal event for the rushees and it was so cool.  It was old black and white movie themed and she made all these super cute fancy pants foods for it.  It was pretty legit.  

If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c: )?  And Why?
My original answer on this was "no," but then half way through typing it out I realized my answer was actually yes lol.  If I knew back then what I know now about all that TBS entails both good and bad, there's no way I could keep myself from doing it again.  The wonderful and amazing parts of being in this sisterhood have greatly out weighted the small frustrations that have come with it.  I guess that's like saying, "Would you decide to not go to college if you had a realistic understanding of how hard it would be before you got here?"  Of course you would still go! The benefits outweigh everything else.  And I love my sisters and the bonds I've gained from this entire experience.

This is my big sister Sarah Marzano! I think Brenna said it best up above, but inside jokes are one of the best parts of TBS.  You don't need to get this picture, but it was one of the most fun nights I've ever had in college.

While we're on the topic… This is Jeanne! She's my little sister in Tau Beta.  She is a freaking baller.  

What has been your favorite official Tau Beta Sigma moment? 

Getting the opportunity to train two classes and watch all these beautiful ladies grow within the organization.  Sometimes I'm a little hard on myself and when they mess up I think "that should've been in the MEP! What was I thinking!?" but they usually don't mess up so that doesn't happen often c; Mostly I've just enjoyed watching who they've all become from day one when I saw them all excited in the spring for MEP to now where many of them are holding big executive offices.

How do you feel about the Beta Alpha/Iota relations? 

Well, I just got engaged to a Beta Alpha, so I'm gonna say that I feel pretty dang good about our joint relations right about now! 

What’s the best TBS or Iota thing you own and who gave it to you? 

It's not a thing, but the best thing that TBS gave to me was a place to call home in college.  I didn't feel like I had a "place" here until I had sisters.  So Iota gave it to me!

Bekka!!

Let’s start easy. What’s your favorite color?

Blue and Green 

What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?

I really liked the pancake rush event because of all the different kinds of pancakes that were made and it was a really good study break from the homework I had.

If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c: )? And Why? 
I don’t think I would have changed anything. I had a really fun experience rushing and during the MEP. My MEP experience was so much fun due to my 9 MC sisters and especially my Big Sister.

What has been your favorite official Tau Beta Sigma moment? My favorite moment was during sisterhood retreat in the spring of 2010. We were playing capture the flag in Waco Hall and Chelsea Allen was hiding in one of the bathrooms guarding our flag. Every time a member of the opposing team would come by looking for our flag, Chelsea would jump out from the bathroom and scare the other person (because Waco Hall is scary at night). Seeing her do that to multiple people has been one of my highlights of being in Tau Beta.

How do you feel about the Beta Alpha/Iota relations?I think our relations with each other are one thing that makes both of the organizations great. We both have respect for each other’s organization and we are genuine with our brotherly and sisterly bonds.


What’s the best TBS or Iota thing you own and who gave it to you?

My favorite is a turtle tape dispenser that Becky Grimes gave me. 


Leanna!!


Let’s start easy. What’s your favorite color?

I don’t have one! I like all colors!

What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?

Well I only went to the Pancake Break.. so I guess that one! 


If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c: )? And Why? 

Of course I would!!! I loved getting close to my MC sisters! I love the sisterhood that we have and I love the friendships made that I know will last for a lifetime

What has been your favorite official Tau Beta Sigma moment? 

My favorite part was when we had slept very little.. and Sara and I started hiding underneath her purple comforter and yelling purple dragon and chasing the rest of Sugar Rush. It’s still an inside joke to this day!

What has been your favorite “non-TBS” TBS moment?

After meeting every week, a couple of my MC sisters always go out to eat after meeting. We have had SO much fun at these dinners, we have had so many laughs as well as many “venting” sessions. I love spending tmie with my sisters.

I love that both organizations work so well together! I’m the service chair and Will(the KKY service chair) and I are always coordinating with each other so that we always are on the same page! It’s very nice!

What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?

I really liked the Be a Tau Beta day. It was a lot of fun to work alongside awesome people and see what it would really be like to be a Tau Beta.

If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c: )? And Why?

I wouldn’t do it all again. It was a wonderful time and I enjoyed it, but there are so many exciting things happening now that I am happy with where I am. There’s so much to look forward to, Homecoming, the next MEP, Sisterhood retreat and Convention in Houston that I just want to keep moving forward!

What has been your favorite official Tau Beta Sigma moment?

My favorite moment would have to be working Sing concession with my MC class and my Bigs. It’s just a fun time to hang out with people and just be kind of crazy with each other in those little booths. Plus there’s candy. 


What has been your favorite “non-TBS” TBS moment?

I love the time I get to spend with my sisters. I remember one time Sara, Christina, and I had a random dance/ talking party in my truck outside Memorial. We were just jamming out in my truck until 2 am! It’s moments like that; moments with people you know love you that I love the most.

yay!

How do you feel about the Beta Alpha/Iota relations?

I think we have great relations! I love to hang out with my brothers. They are awesome guys who love us as much as we love them! I know that TGWI (the KKPsi class that crossed with my class) is a great group of guys who I can count on if I need anything. They’re fun to hang out with. A bunch of us got together for movie parties and video game nights, that hang out time is tons of fun 

What’s the best TBS or Iota thing you own and who gave it to you?

The best TBS thing I own would have to be my paddle. It’s a symbol of all the hard work I went through to get it and the love of my Bigs, who put it together for me. They both wrote notes on the back, which I won’t share exactly what they say, but I know if I ever have a hard time I can just look at the paddle and remember the love they have for me. I have it on my mantel in my living room now right on display so people know what’s important to me

Yellow!


What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?

Umm… I actually didn’t really go to any rush events. I attend game night in the Fall and the Mayborn Scavenger Hunt in the Spring. But, of the two, my favorite was the Mayborn Scavenger Hung because I met Lauren who later became my big sister! I found out so many things that we had in common! We both like purple and we both have curly hair! Also, she reminded me of my biological big sister a lot. I’m so happy I met her then and we have grown closer since 

If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c: )? And Why?

Yes I would! I miss hanging out with my MC Sisters every day. Yes we see each other at band rehearsal, but it’s really hard to catch up and keep up. Luckily, I get to see them at sisterhood dinners and other random dinners like to Olive Garden!

What has been your favorite official Tau Beta Sigma moment? 

I was blessed enough to attend National Convention this summer by default. I originally didn’t want to go, but some things ended up happening and Brenna was unable to attend.  I felt honored that I was able to go and experience all of that wonderful stuff! But my favorite was when Wave Henry, the founder of Tau Beta Sigma and a 91 year old rock star, came to convention and even closed one of our rituals! Everyone was so excited and we felt honored to be in the presence of such an amazing woman.


What has been your favorite “non-TBS” TBS moment?

This is going to be cheesy, but every moment I spend with my sisters becomes another favorite. We do random things like go to a parking garage and sit on a skateboard thing and ride it down the ramp, or drive to Austin to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show, or make trips to Olive Garden, or randomly drive to West and get Kolaches, or watch Harry Potter together, or eat banana bread together, or go to movies together… I love hanging out with my sisters and I wouldn’t know these wonderful women if it wasn’t for Tau Beta Sigma.

How do you feel about the Beta Alpha/Iota relations?

Well, my boyfriend is in Beta Alpha… so does that answer the question….? Haha. I love all the great men in Beta Alpha. They are definitely the sweetest guys on campus and I enjoy eating lunch with them and joking with them at rehearsal or just hanging out!


What’s the best TBS or Iota thing you own and who gave it to you?

Actually, I like any TBS thing I get. Kim (my little sister) made me a picture frame that’s super cute, Lauren gave me soooo many turtle things and then I’ve just accumulated a lot from conventions and things

GREEN!

What was YOUR favorite rush event to attend before you were a member?
My favorite rush event by far was the Mayborn Museum rush event. I didn’t really know membership too well until that one. Before that I was a little shy but after that I felt really comfortable being silly with my soon to be sisters!


If you could do your Tau Beta experience all over again would you (MEP and all c: )? And Why? No,I wouldn’t want to accidentally change anything about it. It has been the best thing to happen to me since I started college. c:

What has been your favorite official Tau Beta Sigma moment?
My favorite TBS moment was definitely during the Clowning Around with Tau Beta Sigma Crush this year. Most people don’t find getting ‘pied’ in the face a pleasant experience but I was surrounded by all of my closest friends (and crushes lol) How could it not be super fun?

What has been your favorite “non-TBS” TBS moment? 
When seven of us crammed into a mustang and drove the wrong way on the road by the library! I was laying across my sisters’ laps in the back seat and had almost no idea what was actually happening until we back to driving “legally” and everyone stopped screaming lol

I think the relations are great because Beta Alpha is such a nice group of guys. Each and every one of them are great friends of mine and so much fun to hang out with <3

My red carnation and white rose. Every time I see them I think of my two amazing littles/best friends <3
