Francis and Stella

Francis is named after Francis Martin Lumly, a charter member of the Alpha Chapter and Past National President of Tau Beta Sigma.  Francis's longtime friend and companion, Stella, is named after the vice-president of the Alpha Chapter, Karen Cummins (Stella was her pet name given to her by the band director, Paul Montemurro) who helped them come to our chapter permanently.  Francis and Stella are always together to remind us daily of our obligations to the Sorority and to the band program.  They have since retired but remain our Mascot Emeritus.  In November 2002, Francis and Stella were taken from the Alpha Chapter.  However, in November 2005, they were returned to the Alpha Chapter.

Kate McFox

Kate has also been retired and hold the title of Mascot Ameritus of the Alpha Chapter.  She came to our chapter at the request of her long-time friends, Francis and Stella, when they decided to retire from their position.  Kate is highly regarded in our chapter and reminds us daily of our obligations to Tau Beta Sigma.  Kate enjoys visiting the chapter for formal and social events, and currently makes the rounds to visit all of her past and present sisters, in Tau Beta Sigma.

Emily Alphalant

Emily  is highly regarded in our chapter and reminds us of our actions as members.  Emily can often be seen with the current candidate class, leading them in their journey toward Sisterhood.  In the Fall of 2005, Emily had some medical difficulties and could be seen wearing a bandage around her midsection.  She has since recovered and is looking forward to the many events this semester.  When she's around, look for a Dr. Pepper bottle, her chair of choice.  She'll be grateful for your assistance.

Unfortunately, Emily has returned to her homeland in Africa.  The Alpha Chapter awaits her return in the future.

Alphie Kowalski

Alphie is our current Alpha Chapter Mascot. Alphie is currently seeing Kate McFox, but, it's sort of a hush-hush situation. Alphie began his career as Alpha Chapter Mascot along with the Gamma Rho class, in Fall of 2007. He loves joining his sisters for service projects, and social events alike. Alphie loves to sport his favorite OSU gear, as well as a cool pair of aviator shades. Alphie can be found with any of the Tau Beta Sigma - Alpha chapter brothers and sisters.
