On November 16, 1968, sixteen ladies received the
charter to the Epsilon Theta chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota. This was the first
Greek organization for ladies on the campus of Appalachian State
University. Since then, this chapter has completed many service projects,
including the Appalachian Young Musicians’ Workshop for area children. Many
awards have also been won by this chapter, the most recent being the 2002
Provincial College Chapter Achievement Award. The chapter was also featured
in the fraternity journal, Pan Pipes, for being “the little chapter
that could.” The national fraternity was founded on June 12, 1903 at the
University School of Music, Ann
Arbor, Michigan, and includes 99,462 initiated members worldwide. 2003
marked the centennial anniversary of the founding of Sigma Alpha Iota.
