SAI Chorale
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.
Sigma Alpha Iota Symphony
Esther Requarth, Nu
- 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.
