About the Gamma Tau chapter...

The Gamma Tau chapter of Tau Beta Sigma was installed February 17, 1967, at the State College of Arkansas (currently the University of Central Arkansas, in Conway, Arkansas. The charter members of the Gamma Tau chapter were Sandy Bradley, Elizabeth Gooden, Susan Harris, Karla King, Sally McLemore, Sue McCracken, Kay Miller, Ginger Owens, Betty Roberts, Linda Ward, and Margaret Nabors Mohrmann (honorary member). Mrs. Virginia Brown was the chapter sponsor. On that same day, the Epsilon Beta chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi (our brother chapter at UCA), also received its charter.

Our chapter's sponsor is Dr. Jackie Lamar. Dr. Lamar has been sponsor of the Gamma Tau chapter of Tau Beta Sigma at the University of Central Arkansas since the spring of 1987. She is Associate Professor of Saxophone in the Department of Music, bassoon instructor, and holds degrees from the University of Central Arkansas and the University of North Texas. As an undergraduate student, Dr. Lamar was a member of the Gamma Tau chapter and served as president during the 1974-75 academic year. In addition to serving as a chapter sponsor, Dr. Lamar served a two-year term as Southwest District Counselor. In 1995, she received the first Outstanding Sponsor Award from the national office.

Our chapter mascot Bobo (a cute little stuffed turtle) was a gift from Mike Nofsinger (Bobby Hagler's Big Bro).
