Happy 110th Birthday Sigma Alpha Iota!
 

Sigma Alpha Iota, a social organization for women with a special interest in music, was founded on June 12, 1903 at the University of Michigan’s School of Music. It was incorporated in the State of Michigan on December 1, 1904.

Its founders are Elizabeth Campbell, Frances Caspari, Minnie Davis [Sherrill], Leila Farlin [Laughlin], Nora Crane Hunt, Georgina Potts, and Mary Storrs [Andersen]. June 12, 1903 was Commencement Day. Four of the founders were graduating that evening, two were leaving for graduate study, and one, Davis, was a young faculty member.

Thanks for remembering us, Fran!

"The Pipes of Pan are calling me. I cannot say no! And, where his tune is leading me surely I must go!"

You know, something I have always wanted to see is a group picture of our Founders. I have never seen one - not even sure one exists.

Oh wow, that would be beautiful. I email HQ sometimes and they never reply...so I doubt they would email me one if I asked. /: maybe it was because they all left college so quickly?

^^^Do you email nh@sai-national.org?

Happy Founders Day to the wonderful sisters of Sigma Alpha Iota!

Happy Founders Day, Sigma Alpha Iota. You are a great organization for women musicians!
