About Us

Here at LSU, we have incorporated music into the lives of others in the community since 1926 through our events, service, and philanthropic efforts. We dedicate our time and service by supporting the College of Music and Dramatic Arts. Some of these events include volunteering at Stately Oaks, National Audition Day, Double Reed Day, Bass-Fest and other festivals, nursing home visits, and practice room cleanings.

We also dedicate a large portion of our time to fundraisers such as Penny Wars, which is a heated financial competition between sections of Tiger Band and even the staff participates! Additionally, we organize rose sales before concerts and operas and sell concessions at basketball and baseball games and gymnastic meets.

One of Sigma Alpha Iota's main purposes as a fraternity is philanthropy. In the past, we have donated the money from our fundraisers to the Sunshine Project, Kid's Orchestra, Undergraduate Theatre Alliance, and local band programs such as those affected by Hurricane Harvey and the flood of 2016, as well as other programs in need of financial help. Recently, we established a spring semester scholarship to support the financial needs of outstanding women in the LSU School of Music.
