Greetings fellow colleagues, students and frat associates!
As many of you know, the Kappa Chi chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota is now two years old. I am their faculty advisor. Well, so far this year they have raised about $150 and donated it to the American Red Cross towards hurricane relief efforts. They also were winners of the recent Phi Beta Sigma Talent Expo on Sept 16 (
Marquita Anthony won first place, and an ensemble from the SAI won 2nd place). On July 26 - August 1 the nation-wide Millie Lewis Actors, Models, and Talent Competition was held, of which SAI member
Lorenda Warren won in several categories amongst 2,000 other competitors. Lorenda was in the top ten in the situation comedy category; was 3rd place in the female photography competition and 2nd place winner of the singer/songwriting division held in Orlando, Florida.
This past weekend (Sept. 24), at my request, the SAI Province Officer came and gave the new chapter officers an all-day orientation session and officially installed the new officers. Their musicale, which was performed in our Recital Hall, included:
"My Pledge" Schmidt (Gamma Chapter)
"Butterfly" Edvard Grieg
"Adoni Roi" Cohen
"All that jazz" Jazz/dance illustrated showpiece
"Summer Time" Gershwin
"Sigma Alpha Iota Chorale" SAI songbook
They are off to a wonderful start and I just wanted to share this information with you. I am hoping that the former chapter administration will come and share their knowledge, time, talent and treasure, as well as return much-needed items from their tenure and I wish this year's members much success in all that they do
