Tau Beta Sigma organizes its chapters and colonies into seven districts, six of which are named for the geographical region of the United States that they represent.[3] The U.S. districts include:[3]

  • North Central District: Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin
  • Northeast District: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia
  • Midwest District: Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming

  • Southwest District: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas
  • Western District: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington

The seventh district is a de jure "International District" which would contain any chapter located outside of the United States, but there are no international chapters.[3] Each chapter is automatically a member of the district in which its state is located, unless it appeals to the National Council to join a neighboring district.[2]
