National & Chapter History

Sinfonia's OrginsSinfonia was born on October 6, 1898 at the New England Conservatory in Boston, when a group of thirteen young men under the guidance of Ossian Everett Mills met to consider the social life of the young men students of that institution and to devise ways and means by which it might be improved. Mills, bursar of the Conservatory, sought to create an Order in which men with a shared love of music could develop the virtues of manhood in themselves and in their fellows.Sinfonia became a national fraternity on October 6, 1900, with the admission of a group of men at the Broad Street Conservatory in Philadelphia. Since that time Sinfonia has grown into the largest music fraternity in the world, with more than 150,000 initiates, and chapters on over 200 college and university campuses across the nation.For over a century, Sinfonians in nearly every field of study and professional endeavor have transformed the face of music in America. Today, the Brotherhood represents a diverse group of individuals spanning the nation, who continue the proud tradition of advancing the Fraternitys Object.Sinfonia is a Brotherhood of men bound together for mutual helpfulness. Its purpose is not only to bring men together as friends, but also to provide a network of brothers with whom men can commune and renew their zeal a support network that helps the individual to meet the challenges that face him in his daily life. By teaching men who are united as brothers to live their lives according to the noble virtues set forth in the Fraternitys Initiation Ritual, Sinfonia builds better, stronger, broader individuals who are able to live in sympathy and in harmony with their Fraternity brothers and their fellow man. The Initiation Ritual of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, which will mark the transition into full membership, is one of the most meaningful and beautiful of the Greek tradition. The dedication to the advancement of universal Truths and brotherly association exemplified in the Ritual are the foundation of individual fraternal friendship, chapter unity, and national solidarity in the promotion of Sinfonias dual mission: the making of men and the uplift of mankind.Sinfonians share a love of music that unites them as brothers with a common interest. The Fraternity teaches men to develop themselves and their art, not for the sake of art itself, but as a means of enriching the lives of others. Through a multitude of chapter, provincial, and national events, Sinfonia offers unlimited opportunities for performance, community music outreach, and other activities designed to develop a true appreciation for the power of music to uplift the soul. Sinfonias collegiate chapters participate in a broad range of activities emphasizing brotherhood, service, and performance in music. Chapters take music into the community by singing at hospitals and homes for the elderly; sponsor concerts of American music, jazz and choral festivals, all-campus sings and Broadway-style reviews; provide a large variety of performing ensembles ranging from big bands to barbershop quartets; commission new works; bring prominent performers and clinicians to their campuses; and take part in a variety of other social and musical activities. The possibilities for participation in musical activities are limited only by the boundaries of imagination, desire, and commitment.Sinfonia provides many exciting opportunities for the development of social and leadership skills in an atmosphere of brotherhood and mutual support. Leadership roles may be assumed from nearly the first day an individual is pledged to become an active member of the Fraternity. Beyond the chapter, annual province workshops and national events allow members to become more involved and to develop meaningful friendships with other musical students across the nation.A common phrase heard among brothers in the Fraternity is Once a Sinfonian, Always a Sinfonian. The spirit of this phrase has fostered alumni loyalty for more than one hundred years. As an alumni member, the opportunities to remain active with the Fraternity are limitless. Alumni associations, scattered throughout the country, provide more formalized ways for alumni Sinfonians to gather together and further the ideals and Object of the Fraternity.
Nu Iota Chapter HistoryThe Original Genesis of the Nu Iota Chapter began on May 2, 1984 by 26 bright-eyed gentlemen. Unfortunately due to the unforseen graduation rate of the chapter, it went inactive in 1990 .Then in 1991, Nu Iota veins ran warm with harmonious blood again. Yet the Phenomenon of unforseen graduation rates again, the Chapter went inactive in 2000.In 2009, with the help of the Noble Dr. Jimmy Cheek and Honorable Mr. Robert Lawrence, the Nu Iota Chapter was RESURRECTED by 17 musicianly men.Through a culmination of our sweat, blood, and tears from over a year it is with great pride that we hold the great Nu Iota born again, on March 28,2009. Since our humble genesis on February 12, 2008, we embarked on a journey with a bold vision of excellence for tomorrow. Through tenacity, distinction, and honor we are ever more faithful to our revered Founders words to Let it be our ambition to make the Sinfonia a power for good, and have faith to believe that in future years its beneficent influence will be felt around the globe. The mystic power behind this sentiment and principle has permeated our hearts and will forever more be the driving force behind Nu Iotas endeavors. With a willingness, an eagerness, and a patience to learn, we look forward to the future years in our great path.Immediately receiving National & Regional Acclaim, the Nu Iota Chapter continues to be the "Premiere Fraternity" in Province 30, SCSU Campus, and the Nation! 17 P.R.O.N.E. will always remember the three Sinfonians who helped this great ambition.....Dr. Cheek ,Mr. Lawrence, & Caleb Bonecutter, Warden of the Delta Sigma Chapter (USC), our Big Brother Chapter. Nu Iota pays homage to two Chapters, pivotal in our re-charter, Delta Sigma (USC) and Pi Eta (Morgan State), and to the countless efforts of Brother sinfonians near and far.And so we leave you with one of the most impelling questions of our time; Nu Iota is blazing the path with prominence and distinction..will you be ready!!??

BACK TO THE BASICS!Unfortunately in this day in age, Fraternities and their various Chapters everywhere are facing a superficial pandemic. Chapters regardless of the Fraternity, are becoming bombarded with reputations of its members primarily focused on partying, stepping, and all other things stereotypical of young college men. The Back to the Basics movement is an strategic plan by the Nu Iota Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia that is not such much to repudiate all these acts but rather to put them in the right priority and focus on the ‘basics” that our beloved Founder intended for the Great Order of Sinfonia. Only through service and fellowship can a brother truly grasp the true essence of what a Sinfonian Man is all about. Work first, play later. Servant leadership, community service and transformative experiences is THE PRIORITY in the Nu Iota Chapter. We know what you’re thinking, “Yea, Yea I heard this all before!” We are so committed and confident in this mission that we encourage you to observe us as a Chapter and individually. You can’t help but see what this philosophy has done to our Chapter, but more importantly to each individual member, transforming us into True Servant Leaders on our campus and throughout of community!Sounds interesting? We want you to experience this too! Ask yourself these important questions first. The Nu Iota Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Fraternity of America, Inc. is committed to recruiting the most intelligent, well rounded, most talented men on the campus of SCSU!1 Do you have a yearning for a tight knit brotherhood?2. Do you love music? 3. Would you like a challenging yet caring support system to encourage personal growth and leadership?4. Would you like the opportunity to serve your campus and community?5.

What are the benefits of membership?- There are many benefits in becoming a Sinfonian. When becoming a member you join a brotherhood of men that are TRULY bound together for mutal helpfulness. Not only does it bring men together as friends but it creates a network of men across the country, old and young, that helps a man support the challenges that face him in his life and his work.All Sinfonians are bonded together by a common interest-their love of music.
