The Mission of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity is to encourage, nurture and support the art of music.
Theta Nu
A petition to colonize on the campus of Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University that started with 150 women in the Spring of 1996, became an undeniable force to be reckoned with, equipped with the strongest, most ambitious and persistent 13 Women in Music colony members who later became MELODIC UMOJA.
​
Melodic Umoja chartered the Theta Nu Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity, Incorporated in the Spring of 1997.
Our Purposes
TO FORM chapters of women college students and alumnae who have a sincere interest in music.

Chorale + Symphony
Our Chorale
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.
Sister Margaret Blackburn, Alpha Mu
Our Symphony
​
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.
