Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity - Theta Omega
About Us
Chapter History
​
Theta Omega was installed on May 5, 1999.
It began in the Spring of 1998, when six determined young women began holding weekly meetings as "Sisters of Pan." Soon after, the group gained recognition at then-Southwest Texas State University as an official club.
The next task the group undertook was finding an adviser, a spot gladly filled by the new music librarian, Amy Edmunds, alumnae of the Xi Chapter at Lawrence University of Wisconsin. With support of the Gamma Phi Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha, "Sisters of Pan" submitted their petition in Fall '98 and received approval of SAI and the Kappa A Province officer, Jennifer Hatch. Pledge period was arranged to begin in Spring 1999.
The May 1999 founding ceremony was presided over by National Vice President, Extension and Fraternity Development Shelby MacFarlane. Also in attendance were former NVP College Chapters Marian King, Province Officer Jennifer Hatch, and members of the Theta Gamma (University of Texas, San Antonio) and Beta Xi (University of Texas, Austin) chapters.
