About Us
Greetings! We are the Kaptivating Kappa Iota Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity, a professional organization for women in music. Founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on June 12, 1903. We are dedicated to promoting the arts, supporting music education, and fostering an environment where women in the music community can network, collaborate, and grow professionally.
The Kappa Iota Chapter was chartered at Tennessee State University on May 5, 2001, by 21 women. We are a vibrant and dedicated group of women who share a deep passion for music and a commitment to fostering a supportive, creative community. As part of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity, our chapter strives to promote the highest standards of music education, performance, and leadership.
We are proud to be part of a legacy of women who are driven by a love for music, creativity, and the pursuit of excellence. Whether it's performing, learning, or serving others, the Kappa Iota Chapter is a place where music and sisterhood come together to create something truly special. Join us as we continue to inspire and uplift one another in our shared passion for music.
