i joined sigma alpha iota to share ideas and goals with women who had the same interests in music as i did. i pledged the fall semester of my sophomore year and met some of the most womderful girls i've ever known. i'm not sure what made me want to "go greek" though. i'm really not totally clear on that one. i know that for me it meant being RECOGNIZED as greek, which at the time was very important to me. funny, but now it's important for me to be recognized as a sigma alpha iota first, and as a greek second.
SAI was just getting back on its feet when i pledged. we had been inactive for a year in 1996 an my big sister along with three other women refounded the chapter from the bottom up. my pledge class (rho class, officially) was the first large pledge class. we had nine and eventually dropped down to seven. the seven of us are now the seniors and i can't imagine what life would be like without them and sigma alpha iota. who knows where the chapter would be right now, if there would have been ladies to continue on this great tradition. so i don't know why i went greek, but i know i'd be totally lost without my sisters.
