I like what I found, and congratulate your founders for realizing that there was a need for an organized social outlet celebrating and promoting what they loved, their common bonds in music. I've learned that membership in SAI is restricted, to those with some kind of connection to music and possibly the arts (unsure on that so far) and membership in a social sorority is allowed.
I'm glad you explored our sisterhood.

SAI is restricted to musicians (vocal, instrumental...anything musical), but NOT just to music majors. I'm also glad that you liked what you found. In case you didn't know, SAI's symbol also is the red rose, and red and white are our colors as well.
Not all GLOs rituals have changed through the years, because not all GLOs have had to change. Some of the sororities and fraternities were blessed with forward-thinking founders who somehow had the knowledge and insight to create rituals that would stand the test of time through the decades.
That is why I said *almost* all. I know that not ALL did.
