| Sigma Alpha Iota is an international music fraternity for women. The
sole mission of SAI is to further the spread and support of music throughout our community, our country, and the world. SAI provides many opportunities for musicians and artists, including the MacDowell Colony, an artist's retreat center; the People-to-People Project, which takes musical instruments and sheet music to underprivileged areas around the world; and musical services for people with special needs, such as Braille and large print sheet music. |
SAI Chorale
by - Margaret Blackburn, Alpha Mu
Daughters of a great and singing nation,
Let your voices rise in dedication,
Music tells unspoken noble creeds;
Music beautifies the simplest deeds;
Sing we now to Sigma Alpha Iota.
Sing the greatness of the soul and spirit,
Sing the joy of peace and friendship's merit,
Music is a kind and truthful speech;
In a language out of mere word's reach,
Sing we now to Sigma Alpha Iota.
Our Symphony
- To study and practice the goodness of life, the beauty of art, the meaning of music.
- To sing the song of sincerity and universal peace.
- To speak the words that build, that bless and comfort.
- To play the harpstrings of loving kindness, tolerance, appreciation, and genuine gratitude.
- To strive for the joy of simplicity, for the noble, to be faithful over a few things.
- To listen, to be still and know the harmony from within.
- To falter never in seeking loving service, wisdom, and understanding.
- In a word, to be loyal to Sigma Alpha Iota and her teachings; to find joy, hope, inspiration; to remember that "every good gift and every perfect gift is from above" and "whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not unto men."
- And again to practice.
- This is to be our Symphony.
