Daughters of a great and singing nation, Let your voices rise in dedication, Music tells unspoken noble creeds; Music beautifies the noblest deeds; Sing we now to Sigma Alpha Iota.
Sing the greatness of the soul and spirit, Sing the joy and peace of 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.
