What is an "Open Event" in SAI?

An "Open Event" in Sigma Alpha Iota (SAI) refers to an event that invites non-members to participate and learn about the organization. This inclusivity is essential for fostering understanding and interest in SAI among potential new members and the broader community. Open Events provide opportunities for engagement, allowing non-members to experience the values and activities of SAI firsthand, promoting awareness of the organization’s mission and contributions to music and culture.

The other choices do not accurately capture the essence of what an Open Event entails. For example, events limited exclusively to members or focused solely on fundraising would restrict participation and limit the outreach benefits that Open Events aim to achieve. Additionally, an event tailored specifically for music majors excludes a broader audience, which contradicts the purpose of an Open Event designed to encourage wider participation and involvement from individuals interested in SAI and its activities.
