ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Tau Sigma

Welcome to Tau Sigma!

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Chapter of Tau Sigma National Honor Society is an academic honor society designed specifically for transfer students. One-third of ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´'s student population is comprised of transfer students. 

Tau Sigma's red crest, Greek letters Tau and Sigma, and bundle of wheat signify a transfer student's journey.

• The letters Tau and Sigma represent transition and scholarship.
• The red crest represents the courage needed when facing the challenges of transition.
• The wheat represents the continual harvesting of success in all future endeavors.

In Fall 2022, the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ chapter inducted its first members.
