Sigma Alpha Iota - Tallahassee Alumnae Chapter

The Tallahassee Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota was installed on November 16, 1969, by national president Ruth Gould and national treasurer Lottie Hutzel. There were fifteen charter members; Jean Foster was our first president. The following January eleven more members were affiliated. One highlight of our first year was a tea for alumnae of Sigma Alpha Iota, Mu Phi Epsilon, Delta Omicron and Phi Beta, for the purpose of forming and Interfraternity Alumnae Club to promote cooperation and communication among the different groups. Another highlight was a concert featuring our three local honorary members; Ruth Posselt, Elena Nilolaidi and Mary Norris.

Our membership has fluctuated during the years since, but our chapter has continued to sponsor various service projects such as working with the Tallahassee Arts Council to furnish music programs for the schools, holding a refresher course for adults on their band instruments, and giving a scholarship to the FSU Music Camp to a deserving student.

After nearly a decade of inactivity, Anne Marie Snyder, Heather Bas and Sara Adams met on January 21, 2002 for what was the first meeting of the Tallahassee Alumnae Group. After two years of hard work, the Tallahassee Alumnae Chapter was reinstated on January 24, 2004, at the Lambda Province Weekend in Gainesville, Florida. The Tallahassee Alumnae Chapter has dedicated sisters who are committed to see the chapter flourish and make significant contributions to the Tallahassee musical community.
