"The Mission of Sigma Alpha Iota is to encourage, nurture and support the art of music."
We, the members of Sigma Alpha Iota, will: 1) Recommit ourselves to the fulfillment of Fraternity responsibilities and ideals, while also nurturing an atmosphere of sisterhood. 2) Celebrate and respect the diversity of our membership through appreciation of our varied educational, musical, occupational, generational, and cultural experiences. 3) Actively support SAI Philanthropies, Inc., our charitable arm, by learning about and participating in its projects, and by making chapter and individual donations a priority. 4) Honor and respect our Ritual, both its music and words, through careful study and dedication to excellence in its presentation. 5) Strengthen our lifelong commitment to SAI through active membership in chapters and the national Alumnae Association. 6) Promote music education through ongoing volunteerism, performance attendance, and support of local programs. 7) Advance American composers, especially women, through new commissions, performances of their works, and concert attendance.
