Tau Beta Sigma Honorary Band Sorority (ΤΒΣ, colloquially referred to as TBSigma or TBS) is a co-educational recognition and service sorority for collegiate band members. It was established at Texas Technological College in 1946. The sorority has over 3,800 active members in 120 active chapters, and over 40,000 alumni.
Since 1946, Tau Beta Sigma has been recognized by Kappa Kappa Psi as "an equal affiliated organization with a parallel purpose, function, and role in the college and university band setting", and the two organizations hold joint conventions. The two organizations contribute to a national publication called The Podium.
