About NYAC: 
HISTORY:
The New York Alumnae Chapter (NYAC) is one of the oldest Sigma Alpha Iota alumnae chapters in the nation. Originally established in New York City in the early 1920’s as Epsilon Epsilon, it was officially chartered under its present name in 1932. Although we are not really sure yet exactly when they first came together, earliest Pan Pipes records of Epsilon-Epsion fraternity activities date from 1926. NYAC currently draws its membership from the greater New York metropolitan area including all five boroughs, Long Island, southeast New York State, and northern New Jersey, including associate members who reside all across the United States.
The NYAC has been honored to be the recipient of numerous National Awards. In 1986 they were awarded the Phi Province Alumnae Chapter Achievement award. In 1995 they won the Phi A Alumnae Chapter Achievement Award, in 1997, 2002, and 2003 they won the Phi C Alumnae Chapter Achievement Award, and in 2004 and 2005 they received the Phi B Alumnae Chapter Achievement Award. They were also honored with the Annelle Chandler McAdams Community Service Award in 2003 and 2004. In 2003 and 2004 they were selected as a top 10 finalist for the National Alumnae Chapter Achievement Award, and in 2005 they received the National Alumnae Chapter Achievement Award for achieving distinction in fulfilling the National and local objectives. From September through June, the NYAC holds meetings and special events throughout the metropolitan area.
Annual special events include a holiday dinner, a special Benefit Concert, Service Projects and an American Musicale showcasing the talent of chapter members in works by American composers. Social events are held on a monthly basis for recreation and to foster sisterhood.
Committees are the heart of activity within the chapter, and currently the NYAC boasts 18 active committees committed to the advancement of the local and National objectives to further the aims of this charitable music philanthropy. With so many activities going on, there is bound to be something to match every members’ talent, skills and enthusiasm in any given month. |
