SAI Chorale by Margaret Blackburn, Alpha Mu

Daughters of a great and singing nation.
Let your voices rise in dedication.
Music tells unspoken noble creeds;
Music beautifies the simplest deeds;
Sing we now to Sigma Alpha Iota.

Sing the greatness of the soul and spirit;
Sing the joy of peace and friendship's merit.
Music is a kind and truthful speech,
In a language out of mere words reach,
Sing we now to Sigma Alpha Iota.
