2019 National Convention

The Kappa Kappa Psi & Tau Beta Sigma National Convention, held every two years, is an opportune time to share ideas and foster new ones, as well as strengthening the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood. Brothers and sisters have the opportunity to direct the future of the Fraternity and the Sorority through voting for new national leadership, participating in various workshops, and serving on a number of committees.

The 2019 edition was held on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The locale influenced the colors and the design elements used. The top part of the logo references the National Headquarters office at the Stillwater Depot while the bottom of the logo references the Edmon Low Library on campus.

The National Intercollegiate Band (NIB) is a concert band, sponsored by Honorary Band Fraternity and Sorority Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, that performs every two years at the National Convention of the two organizations. Organized in 1947, the NIB is the oldest national intercollegiate band in the United States, and is open to all collegiate band members regardless of membership in Kappa Kappa Psi or Tau Beta Sigma.

Since 1953, the National Intercollegiate Band has been the resident ensemble of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma’s Commissioning Program, which has added thirty new works to the band repertoire since its inception and is the longest-running commissioning program for wind band music in the United States.
