Members from Tampa Alumnae, Beta Sigma, Delta Chi, and Lambda Omicron greeted sisters from around the country as they came to participate in the conference. At the booth, sisters shared how to get involved in SAI at the alumnae or collegiate level, how to contribute to SAI Philanthropies, Inc., and sold items as part of a fundraiser. During FMEA, Tampa Alumnae sisters also coordinated an "SAI Sing," in which all sisters attending the conference were encouraged to participate. In the middle of the convention center, sisters from around the country gathered and sang songs of SAI.
