Iota Lambda is the SAI chapter at the University of Missouri-Columbia, located in Columbia, Missouri. We are a member of the province Pi B. With a new year, we have many new ideas, and this website is just the beginning. The new Executive Board of Iota Lambda wants to increase information availability and accuracy; hence, we have created a website that is a reliable source.

Iota Lambda Spring Musicale 2004!
On Sunday May 4th, 2004 at 3:30pm, Iota Lambda held a spring musicale featuring performances by
many of the talented members. With organization by primarily three sisters, we were able to work together
to create a set of performances to the Mizzou School of Music, students, and Columbia community.
In addition, we had a beautiful array of food and beverages in which we invited the members and audience to partake
after the event. A special thanks goes out to Samantha Smith for compiling all the required paper work to have our
musicale on the MU School of Music events calendar, as well as making available recital credit, providing an outstanding dozen roses, and much more. Also, thank-you to
Amanda Pence for putting her creative and baking talents to the test with the wonderful after-performance reception. Last but not least,
we would like to thank Alisha Williams for taking charge of arranging the musicale, recruiting performers, designing the program, and much more.

What have we been up to?
A new semester just began, and Iota Lambda is busy as usual, despite poor weather in the general Mizzou area. First, we have a new advisor, Professor Melinda Lein, who you can read about in our next newsletter thanks to Miss Samantha Smith and her interviews. In addition, officer elections are just around the corner! To see all the events planned for the winter 2003 semester, visit our calendar.
What happened last semester?
Last semester, fall 2003, we held a car wash to help raise money to bring Xiang Gao, a violinist, to Mizzou. On September 26th, he performed a Bruch Violin Concerto with our Philharmonic Orchestra and gave master classes for music students due to donations from Iota Lambda.
In addition, we provided service work to our community.
Also during the weekend of September 26th, we volunteered time to help
our community in the Festival of the Arts. This festival is
the culmination of all the artforms presented to the public for free
of charge in Columbia, MO. This years twelfth annual Festival of the Arts
included activites from storytelling, interactive theatre, puppetry and music
to a magnetic poetry wall to drama and dance.
Iota Lambda initiated the Fall 2003 pledge class, deaming them the name "Ta Ta Four Now".
The class
has four dedicated members: Roberta Franca, Melanie J. Young, Megan Rist
and Stacey Hopkins. Also, we initiated a new patroness,
Janet McCaskill. For this semester, VP Membership, Chelsey Soo, is planning
numerous activities to attract interested members and to teach them the meaning
and ways of Sigma Alpha Iota.

Finally, the SAI girls from Truman State visited our chapter for a formal meeting. First, we socialized at a before meeting dinner, followed by lining up to enter the meeting, and Truman SAIs finished it off with a Rose Queen presentation demonstrating love and dedication to SAI and your sisters!
