Districts
See also: List of Tau Beta Sigma chaptersThe sorority is divided into three basic levels - National, District, and Chapter. The sorority's business is handled hierarchically, so that an issue is handled in chapter meetings, district conventions, and then nationally. There are seven districts divided by geography: Northeast, Southeast, North Central, Midwest, Southwest, Western, and International (a hypothetical district comprising all chapters outside the United States). Each district is led by one or more District Counselors, as well as a council of elected student officers by the members of the Districts.
District Counselors are regional advisors for the Sorority. They actively work with each district's student leadership and communicate with chapter sponsors. District Counselors are appointed by the National President for two-year terms, and are currently limited to serving three terms.
The districts are as follows:
| District | Counselor(s) | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Southwest | Erika Pope, Theta Theta | Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas |
| Southeast | Crystal Wright, Theta Iota; Reneé Cartee, Zeta Psi | Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee |
| North Central | Trudy Adler, Gamma Rho | Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin |
| Midwest | Adrienne Rall, Theta Mu | Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming |
| Northeast | Nicole Kemp, Zeta Upsilon | Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia |

Famous quotes containing the word districts:
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
