Our chapter
Delta Sigma is the University of Dayton's chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota. Chartered in 1965, Delta Sigma is an active chapter involved in the department of music, among the university, the city of Dayton and the international ΣΑΙ community. ΣΑΙ sisters achieve greatness in academia and music, and are leaders both within the UD department of music and among the university. Delta Sigma is made up of both music majors and non-music majors alike, and all sisters participate in musical ensembles across campus.
