Sigma Alpha Iota

D IN MEMORIAM aughters of a great and singing nation… As we sing these words, we celebrate our sisterhood in Sigma Alpha Iota. Listed below are those cherished members who have passed away since the list published in last year's fall issue and reported through October 2010. We list the member's name (with lineage name in parentheses), initiating chapter, initiation date, date of death (or report of death to National Headquarters), and the last reported residence. Most were alumnae; some were patronesses, and they are marked (P). A list of Distinguished Members is at the end of the list. Please continue to notify National Headquarters when one of our members has died.
