Temple University - Philadelpha, PA
Welcome!
The Delta Mu Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota was chartered at Temple University on December 8, 1964. We are a member of Region VIII and the Chi A Province. In 2024, we will be celebrating our 60th anniversary! We consist of a mixture of music and non-music majors, united by our shared love of music. We celebrate music together by performing for each other and practicing our musicianship. This is a truly unique part of our sisterhood; together, we grow not only as sisters, but as musicians.
On December 8, 1964 the Delta Mu chapter was established and eighteen students, one faculty member, and a patroness member had been initiated. Thus marking the beginning of a long journey for these women and for many others to come. From 1975 to 1981 marked a span of inactivity at Temple University we were later reinstalled, in 1986. During this year the chapter faced difficulties with the faculty of Temple University on strike, forcing fraternity business to be conducted off campus, at member homes. Even in the face of adversity, the sisters persevered, continuing on in the spirit of Sigma Alpha Iota and supporting one another in our cherished sisterhood.
Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity is a music fraternity that consists of female members, as well as female or male affiliates. The fraternity was founded on June 12, 1903 at the University School of Music in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Following in the footsteps of our seven founders, we strive to "encourage, nurture, and support the art of music."
"Sigma Alpha Iota is an organization which promotes interaction among those who share a commitment to music. 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."
