A-Is for Apples that we purchase and passed out at each home football game.

S-Is for Sisterhood, which we have done a photo album, movie and dinner night, and a study night.

T-Is for Tuesday Bake Sales.

E-Is for Equipment that includes a video projector and drum/conductor stand for the Basketball Pep band.

E-Is for extending service to the community such as performing and proving the opportunity for Girl Scout to earn their music badges. We also visited St. Joseph Hospital to carol and pass out gifts to children in the pediatrics unit.

We have done many other activities, some of which include: our annual March-a-than which brought in approximately five thousand dollars as well as sharing the gift of music and the aesthetic qualities it can project to others within the community, our scholarships, Halloween dance, band camp activities, housing members of the marching band during band camp, assisting freshman move-in at the first day of band camp, ushering at several concerts. We also hosted our annual Chamber Ensemble Recital, which w as a great success that includes the whole music department. Gamma Rho is always striving to see an ideal, seize upon it, and we follow it wherever it leads us in Tau Beta Sigma.
