Tau Beta Sigma Campaigning Guidelines

  • Each candidate may create her/his own website/page for interaction with interested members, however, content is limited to the required documentation listed above.
  • Candidates are not allowed to send group or mass emails, and shall not be allowed to access any Tau Beta Sigma email list(s). Likewise, candidates shall not be allowed to post to District or chapter pages/websites.

District Conventions and Meetings

  • District Conventions are part of the national programming provided by Tau Beta Sigma. Our District and National leadership teams work diligently every year to provide an experience that challenges our membership, forges relationships, and moves the Sorority forward. In addition to district conventions, some districts have precinct meetings and other meetings (leadership workshops, etc.) that provide programming to support chapters and members.  The purpose of these conventions and meetings is to engage and develop our membership.
  • Candidates for national office are encouraged to attend district conventions and meetings. Many candidates will have leadership roles in the Sorority and may be actively involved in the conventions and meeting programming.
  • Our national leadership will provide a time during the National Leadership Presentation or other scheduled function to introduce candidates. Candidates are welcome to engage members who have questions, but candidates should be respectful of the purpose of the convention.
  • Candidates for national office should refrain from “actively” campaigning during these district conventions and meetings. Candidates should conduct themselves in a manner that does not detract from the mission and purposes of the meetings.
