Service is a crucial part of Tau Beta Sigma and the Eta Alpha Chapter. Eta Alpha is dedicated to serving the Syracuse University Band Program as well as the greater Syracuse community. Service allows us to not only give back to our community and our bands, but also to grow closer to other sisters within our own chapter, Syracuse's chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi, other chapters of Tau Beta Sigma, and organizations and people throughout our campus and community. 

Sisters of Eta Alpha along with the brothers of Syracuse's Kappa Kappa Psi chapter help coordinate the arrival of rookie and veteran members of the SUMB at Band Camp each year, assisting with moving members in, uniform service, fundraising, and so much more. Eta Alpha participates in a number of service projects both on and off campus, hosts receptions after University Band performances, actively fundraises for a number of music-related causes and charities, and awards a scholarship each spring to one graduating high school senior in the University Community.
