Along the line of the first post here...
One of my dearest friends in the world is a Sinfonian. And I think it's the best thing to happen to him in college.
He's also a saxophone player and music major, and we've been super close since he came here. But when he was a freshman, he was so quiet and shy that he only hung out with me and his roommate, and me because I reached out to him. He also had a lot going on in his personal life that year...and he was so miserable from not having any friends except us and all that he was going to transfer. I begged him to stay, give it another chance...and consider Sinfonia.
Wellll he did, and the next semester he was offered a bid but declined because his schedule was too busy. They gave him one the next semester, and he accepted it.
He is the happiest I have ever seen him. Certainly the most outgoing. He doesn't feel so alone anymore. I am so glad Phi Mu Alpha came into his life.
