May 4th 2002, a group of young women, previously known as the “Aspiring Women
Musicians,” were able to see a dream come true. It took nearly three years, but Sigma Alpha
Iota finally came to Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri.
Members Emily Hood and Stephanie Brueggeman served as big sisters and the main
organizers of the petitioning process. With the assistance of Province Officer Marty Anastasi
and the promise and encouragement of sisterhood, these sixteen young women learned the
traditions of Sigma Alpha Iota and what it meant to be a sister.
