Tau Beta Sigma operates primarily as a student service and leadership recognition society whose chief aim is to assist the Director of Bands in developing the leadership and enthusiasm that they require of their band. Our goals are not only to provide the band with organized and concentrated service activities, but to give our membership valid and wholesome experiences in organization, leadership, and social contacts. The honorary nature of membership is based on our premise that "it is an honor to be selected to serve"—this band, its department of music, its sponsoring institution, and the cause of band music in the nation's colleges and universities.

The Eta Rho Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma was colonized in the spring of 1985 and fully chartered on March 21, 1987. Since our establishment, members have completed service activities like organizing equipment and instruments, ushering concerts and recitals, and working with local Girl Scout troops. Serving the music program for over 30 years and counting, the Sisters of Eta Rho continually strive to uplift women in music, contribute to the excellence of JMU music programs, and maintain a close partnership with our Brother organization, the Eta Omicron Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi.
