Sigma Alpha Iota, an International Music Fraternity, was organized in 1903 “to form chapters of music students and musicians who shall by their influence and their musical interest uphold the highest ideals of a music education; to raise the standard of productive musical work among the women students of colleges, conservatories and universities.” As of December 2004, its membership included 211 active college chapters, 120 alumnae chapters, and one International Chapter.
