Meet Chelsea Call Middleton!

What was your MC class name? What was your MC name?

When did you cross? I pledged the Spring of 2003, while attending Angelo State University. My pledge class was Alpha Sigma. The tradition there was that our big sister would nickname us after third degree. My nickname is “Z.I.P.L.O.C.K.” which stands for zippy, independent, pretty, lovely, outrageous, courageous, and kinky. The caps, quotes, and periods are a family tradition. 
Picture
Who are your bigs? John Middleton and Ginger Hoppert Allen

Picture
Who are your littles? Nicole Gumke and Celeste Nugent Gollinger, Chris Farris and Kyle Keyes

 Where did you graduate high school? Red Oak HS, south of Dallas

Why did you choose Baylor? My voice teacher poached me after hearing me at a competition, and I already loved the campus from attending District Convention.

While at Baylor, where did you live? Allen dorms and then the Island with the Best Roomie Ever!!

What was your most difficult class? Music History. It was so terrible that last semester when I started my Master’s Degree, I had to take Remedial Music History!!!

What is your favorite place and tradition on the Baylor campus? I love being on Baylor campus, but my favorite ever is remembering my first football game. I was so excited to march in Floyd Casey that I even teared up a little. Okay, maybe a lot…

What did you play in BUGWB? Mello!!

Don’t worry, no babies were harmed in the taking of this photo

Why did you decide to join Tau Beta Sigma? I am very passionate about sharing my love of music and supporting college bands is a great way to start!

What was your favorite Tau Beta event? I love a good rush event with my girlies!

With what degree did you graduate? Bachelor of Choral Music Education

What did you do with your degree? I’m flinging my Green and Gold afar!! And taught elementary music before staying home to wrestle two baby bears

My first teaching job was at South Waco Elementary, over behind Arlington Farms. I took a group of fifth graders to a Baylor game- none of them had ever been! Colin McKenzie was awesome and helped arrange for some students to come talk to them about how awesome playing in the band could be. These kids talked about how much fun they had for the rest of the year!!

What are you doing now/what do you want to continue doing? I am currently a research assistant at Baylor University researching the brain development of early childhood and how it affects their musical development. I am commuting from Dallas a few days a week. It is so inspiring to work with the little ones and watch their love for music grow! I have been married for six years to the most amazing big brother a Tau Beta could ask for, and we have two of the most intelligent and, of course, perfect children ever, Sera and Seth. They are also terribly brainwashed about Baylor.

And Sera’s Aunt B (Brenna Middleton) has already brainwashed Sera about Tau Beta. :)

Tell us a funny/awesome Tau Beta story? While at National Convention with Mandie Rhodes McKenzie, Karen Miller told us a sad story of how her mother, Janet West Miller, had her Tau Beta Sigma National President ring stolen while having surgery. We decided to purchase a new ring for her and worked with the chapter to raise the funds. It truly is a wonderful feeling to do something for others.
