Tau Sigma National Honor Society
The UA chapter is known as Tau Sigma Beta Omega and is the first established Chapter of Tau Sigma Honor Society for Transfer students in the state of Arizona. The honor society is one of the foundation blocks of a tradition of achievement for transfer students at UA. The Tau Sigma Beta Omega honor society enhances transfer students' visibility and reputation on campus, provides motivation for academic excellence as well as a common bond and sense of community.
