'Daughters of our 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 lanuage out of mere word's reach, Sing we now to Sigma Alpha Iota.'
