Well, first of all, SAI as a whole is open to ALL musicians, although at some schools, it will tend to learn towards all vocalists or all instrumentalists. OUrs is mixed. TBS *is* only for band however.

When you say SAI there does not ask women outside of music to be involved with them, do you mean to pledge, or just to be involved with them? I mean you have to be a musician of SOME sort to pledge...because if you aren't a musician, why would you want to pledge SAI, a group whose sisterhood is tied to music?

Because SAI is not a social Greek/member of NPC, we do not do things like mixers, etc with other Greeks, except for other music Greeks like Sinfonians or TBS. I mean, there wouldn't be much point...most of the social Greeks on my campus look down at us and don't see us as Greek in the first place *sigh* and besides that, while I will argue all day and all night that we are JUST AS GREEK as an NPC sorority, we still have very different aims. Like NPC groups, we hold our ritual close to our hearts, and our sisterhood is strong and lifelong. However...music is our focus. We have nothing against the social Greeks; they serve their own purpose, and do a lot for the community and campus. We respect them. But we don't interact with other Greeks because, well, they wouldn't want us to, and I'm not sure it'd serve a purpose.

Does any of this make any sense?
