Musicianship
To join Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia you must love music. That doesn't mean that you have to be a music major or even know how to read music. We're not an honorary fraternity and we're not a band director fraternity like Kappa Kappa Psi. The affiliation with music is better understood when we look at the foundations of the Order. The fraternity began at the New England Conservatory at a time when it was predomiately women. The Chancellor, Ossian E. Mills, wanted to establish a social Order that would unite the few men that were there and develop a brotherhood. If you refer to the original objects of the fraternity this comes to light. It is true that some chapters still consider themselves to be professional but I assure you that if you go to the National Assembly or communicate with Jon Mongiovi at Lyrecrest, you can better understand the origins of our social Fraternal Order. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia is social fraternity for musical gentlemen. Fraternally,
