Sigma Alpha Iota Symphony

To study the goodness of life, the beauty of art, the meaning of music.

To sing the song of sincerity and universal peace.

To speak the words that build, that bless and comfort.

To play the harpstrings of loving kindness, tolerance, appreciation, and genuine gratitude.

To strive for the joy of simplicity, for the noble, to be faithful over a few things.

To listen, to be still and know the harmony from within.

To falter never in seeking loving service, wisdom, and understanding.
In a word, to be loyal to Sigma Alpha Iota and her teachings; to find joy, hope, inspiration; to remember that "every good gift and every  perfect gift is from above" and "whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord, and not unto men."

And again, to practice.
This is to be our Symphony.
