Famous Sisters


All of our Sigma Alpha Iota Sisters are special in their own right, being blooms on the Sigma Alpha Iota Rosebush. However, some Sisters have made names for themselves on the public stage and are therefore shining examples of the quality of women in our Sisterhood.

The list below is alphabetized by last name and will be added to whenever she receives new information. If you happen to know of a Famous Sister not on this list, please email alumnae member Michele Langston. This page is a special project of hers.
