Daughters of a great and singing nation,

Let your voices rise in dedication,

Music tells unspoken noble creeds;

Music beautifies the simplest deeds,

Sing we now to Sigma Alpha Iota.

 Sing the greatness of the soul and spirit,

Sing the joy of truth and friendship's merit,

Music is a kind and truthful speech;

 In a language out of mere word's reach,

Sing we now to Sigma Alpha Iota.
