MISSION
Tau Sigma is an academic honor society designed specifically to recognize and promote
the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students.
Tau Sigma National Homepage
Tau Sigma was incorporated as a non-profit in 1999 with Auburn University being the home of the first chapter. At that time,
Auburn University was becoming increasingly aware of the significant numbers of transfers on campus as well as the university's
inability to adequately serve them. Tau Sigma was born out of Auburn University's desire to improve its service to and recruiting
and retention of transfer students.
Today, 32 other universities have established or are currently establishing Tau Sigma chapters in their efforts to improve
the services that they provide to their transfer student population. Although Tau Sigma is a relatively new organization,
over 3600 members in all parts of the country have become active at their universities, participating in such activities as
on-campus recruiting events for prospective transfer students, transfer student orientation, community service projects, assisting
the admissions office with the recruitment of prospective transfers at junior colleges, and participating in intramural sports
and socials that allow them opportunities to fellowship with one another and make new friends.
