National Policies

Policy on HazingThe Kappa Kappa Psi Fraternity and the Tau

Beta Sigma Sorority neither approves of nor is responsible for actions of members of local chapters which may result in injury to persons or damage to property. Hazing is defined as any actions taken or situation created, intentionally or unintentionally, to produce mental or physical discomfort on or off campus involving members and/or prospective members, which may cause embarrassment, harassment, and/or ridicule.

Policy on Controlled SubstancesThe Kappa Kappa Psi Fraternity and the Tau

Beta Sigma Sorority base their position upon recognition that clear evidence exists that the abuse or illegal use of controlled substances can erode the foundations of fraternalism and diminish the complete attainment of the goals and objectives of the organizations and the educational community.

Policy Against DiscriminationThe Kappa Kappa Psi Fraternity and the Tau

Beta Sigma Sorority expressly prohibits discrimination by any component part of the Fraternity or Sorority or by any person acting on behalf of the organizations on the basis of race, national origin, gender, religion, handicap, sexual orientation, or marital status.

The Purposes

The Purposes(1) To promote the existence and welfare of the college and

university bands and to cultivate at large a wholesome respect for their activities and achievements.

(2) To honor outstanding bandmembers through privilege of membership extended as a reward for technical achievement and appreciation for the best in music.

(3) To stimulate campus leadership and promulgate an uncompromising respect through the medium of the college band for gracious conduct, good taste and unswerving loyalty.

(4) To foster a close relationship between college bands and promote a high average of attainment by the performance of good music and selection of worthwhile projects.

(5) To provide a pleasant and helpful social experience for all engaged in college band work and to cooperate with other musical organizations in any manner consistent with the purposes of the institution at which chapters are located.

Events Throughout the DistrictDistrict Leadership ConferenceState DaysSD4Western District Convention

DLCAKA – District Leadership ConferenceKind of a mix between State Days and

ConventionStuff to do, but not overwhelmingThere are events that are put on

ConferencesWorkshopsService ProjectsFundraisersPJ’s and Hot Chocolate

DLCAlmost everything done at DLC is jointLots of bonding timeIt’s called District LEADERSHIP Conference

– because most of the workshops are about how to be a better leader, how to lead by example, how to lead without a leadership role… you get the picture

State DayHeld every year hosted by a different chapter

in the state of CaliforniaMainly bonding and social/service activities, no

emphasis on business.Must occur before Western District ConventionState Day host(s) shall host and implement a

profit share fundraiser, in which 50% of the proceeds go to the district, and 50% may be kept by the state day school host(s)
