Haley and Tau Beta Sigma
Haley became a sister of Tau Beta Sigma on November 20, 2015. She was a member of the Fall '15 class, Mauvelous Centaurus (Doowop, doowop). She currently serves under the Ways and Means Committee to help fundraise for her chapter. She truly loves the organization and looks forward to a future full of service to the college bands.
