It looks like the most current edition they have is the April issue.

unarose 09-11-2013 12:22 PM

I haven't gotten mine yet either. I just got the most recent Pan Pipes in the last couple of weeks or so, though. I like getting it in the mail, haha.

I also got a new letter shirt recently, from the local store that's licensed to do them. I had it done in UNA's colors so I can wear it to games if I get to go. I was hoping to get to go to Jacksonville for the UNA-JSU game and see some of the Theta Beta ladies, but now I don't think I'm going to be able to.

^^^LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!

I have often thought about doing something similar. I still wear letters on occasion.

clarinette 09-12-2013 01:13 AM

I met some sisters at my grad school. They're part of the local alumnae chapter, so I'm thinking about meeting some more women within that chapter and talking about affiliation.

Definitely want to wait until next semester at least, though. It's weird getting used to a new city, new school, new routine. Adding one more new thing on top of it would be difficult for me.

I'm totally going to be that lady, who in thirty years will still be wearing letters and stuff. No regrets about it, either. I've always thought it's awesome that D9-ers do it so unapologetically. There's a regular guest at work who's a Kappa Alpha Psi alum and he's always wearing a shirt or hat that's representing the fraternity, and he's getting on in years but I think it's the coolest thing. :)

clarinette, where are you in grad school at?

While I have a kind of love for my collegiate chapter that cannot be replaced, my SAI experience has truly been made whole through my involvement in the alumnae chapter. I would not trade those ladies for anything in the world! They have provided me constant stability and friendship since I finished college. The alumnae chapter has confirmed that SAI is what I always dreamed it could be.

Me & you, both girl! I love me some SAI!

unarose, I'm at Shenandoah University in Virginia.

AlwaysSAI 09-20-2013 04:45 PM

My alumnae chapter was just notified that we are the 2013 recipients of the Alumnae Chapter Achievement Award for our Province! We are so proud!

clarinette 09-21-2013 07:25 AM

WOOHOO! I'm so happy for you all!

unarose 09-21-2013 11:53 AM

Snaps for Raleigh-Durham Alumnae! :D

Hopefully one of these days we'll finally get an Alumnae chapter (or two) in my home province. There's some interest, and have been some inquiries made to NH about how to go about it. :)

Thanks! We are pretty proud! Especially since 2013 was our first full year as a chartered chapter. As our chapter slogan points out, "We do stuff!".

I am a recent alumnae sister, and I covered at the last minute for someone during tonight's ritual as 7 girls became MITs for the Kappa Psi chapter at Fresno State (whose football team just beat Boise State this weekend *brag*).

This is huge for us. I hope and pray they all go through because that would be highly symbolic, and we could finally qualify for a lottery to place our booth in the booth row at the University Student Union... and we'd get money, too! Campus recognition would be fantastic.

When I was active, at one point there were just three of us. Two were about to graduate, and so the day our PO came for an emergency visit (I thought that was going to be the "plug pull" news), we suddenly gained 4 MITs in late March. Because they were previously in Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, they knew how the exam worked. Did I mention I was their VPM? :D

Ever since then, we have had an initiation every semester, and I have cried at every single one of them.

So I'm finding comfort in knowing that the little voice inside my head was right. "Anne, you can sleep. One day when you graduate the chapter is going to grow and it will continue to grow."

We are the little chapter that could! GROW US!

unarose 09-23-2013 07:15 AM

My collegiate chapter's treasurer this year is our one sister who is also an initiate of Tau Beta Sigma. I have this feeling she's going to do a great job. I would actually love to see more dual membership between the two chapters among the ladies, but I also know just enough about how our TBS chapter works to know that if it were to happen, it would be more likely in spring just because between marching band and TBS obligations, most of them don't have a lot of extra time. All of the ladies in that chapter would also make fine additions to SAI as well, if they so desired.

Congrats to Kappa Psi on 7 MITs!

anne.bcl 09-23-2013 10:07 PM

Thank you. It's so comforting to know that the chapter is okay now. I would lose sleep over this just a few years ago. It would even affect my mood!

anne.bcl 10-29-2013 03:07 AM

Our MITs had their musicale tonight and they were VERY impressive.

So proud of them all and I am amazed that we still have all 7.

Hoping I can start an alumnae chapter with 14 other lovely ladies in my area... we've been talking about it for years!

AlwaysSAI 12-17-2013 09:32 PM

A picture of the RDU exec board is featured on the national website - upper right corner.

We don't know how they got it or how long it has even been up, but we are proud. :D

Pardon the crash!

There are some cutie-patootie pictures of the UGA chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota in the Athens newspaper today. It's a tea they hosted for prospective members.

Look at what I won on that site. It's a really rare item that I only knew existed because I saw it in the background of an old chapter photo.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT TO ARRIVE!

Oh, wow, that's beautiful! Reminds me of my eternal wish to have a woven crest throw. The company that does them is licensed for us, I think, but there aren't any on their site. :( (ETA: I would swear they were licensed for us at one time but it looks like they're not on there any more.)

AlwaysSAI 04-14-2014 05:02 PM

^^^When it arrives, I'll see if there is a tag. If there is, hopefully it will have the info for the company that made it. Maybe they are still willing.

ETA: There wasn't a tag on the blanket.

AlwaysSAI 07-23-2014 09:15 PM

I hadn't talked to my little in 5 years. We just talked on the phone for an hour. Reminds me why I liked her so much in college. Even though she's not a sister anymore (she de-sistered after some drama), she's still a sister to me.

unarose 09-22-2014 12:19 PM

So, any recruitment updates for our local chapters or chapters of initiation, ladies?

I have one for mine—Lambda Psi chapter pledged SEVEN beautiful ladies as Members in Training last night!

AlwaysSAI 09-22-2014 08:53 PM

^^^^Your post prompted me to go look at my collegiate chapter's FB page. No updates since January. :(

unarose 09-23-2014 04:51 AM

That stinks…maybe someone forgot to pass along the editing rights to the page?
