What is SAI?
Sigma Alpha Iota is an organization, which promotes interaction among those who share a commitment to music. Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity was founded in 1903.
Members of SAI are active in all areas of campus music and campus life, working closely with faculty, administration, campus and community groups, music professionals and patrons. In addition to personal encouragement and support, members may receive scholarships, loans and awards in many areas and at all levels of music-related study. Sigma Alpha Iota has long been recognized as a leader in the field of music and provides a lifetime of fraternity contact.
The SAI Alumnae Association allows alumnae members to remain active and supportive of the ideals of SAI.
Members of Sigma Alpha Iota, in collegiate and alumnae chapters, devote their talents and energies to many national and international projects including those of Sigma Alpha Iota Philanthropies, Inc.:
- The People-to-People Music Project sends music, instruments, and educational materials to deserving musicians world-wide.
- The triennial Inter-American Music Awards (IAMA) and commissions recognize and encourage the finest in creative composition throughout the western hemisphere.
