What is an essential quality of an SAI member?

An essential quality of an SAI member is a commitment to the ideals of the organization. Being part of Sigma Alpha Iota goes beyond mere musical ability or education; it entails embracing the values and principles that the fraternity stands for, such as fostering sisterhood, promoting music and its appreciation, and supporting one another in personal and professional development. This commitment is what unites all members and drives the mission forward, ensuring that the organization thrives and fulfills its goals.

While skills like public speaking, strong music theory knowledge, and experience in music education can be beneficial, they are not fundamental to the essence of SAI membership. The true strength of the organization lies in the shared commitment to its ideals and the collective effort of its members to uphold and promote those values within their communities and in their musical pursuits.
