On April 25, 1989, 24 hardworking and willing young women began the colonization process at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, under the leadership of our great former band director Dr. Johnny B. Hodge Jr. The 198th chapter of Tau Beta Sigma was installed February 24, 1990 by the Epsilon Phi chapter at Western Carolina University. Since this glorious day, the sisterhood at North Carolina A&T State University has grown to become one of the strengthening forces of the band.
