PROFESSIONAL MUSIC FRATERNITIES
There are three professional music fraternities with chapters at Ithaca College. Mu Phi Epsilon, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, and Sigma Alpha Iota all do much to enrich the music, professional and social lives of their members, and provide service to the school and community. They are all members of the Council of Music Fraternities and do not haze their pledges/members, nor do they endorse hazing of any kind. First-year students must wait one semester before joining one of the fraternities, in order to establish a G.P.A. (grade point average). The best way to express your interest in a music fraternity is to contact/talk to a member and to attend open fraternity functions.
Mu Phi Epsilon
Professional, international, coeducational, service-oriented music fraternity.
Mu Phi Epsilon is a professional, international, coeducational, service-oriented music fraternity that has been active at IC for more than 90 years. Lambda Chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon is housed in Terrace 4 on the Ithaca College campus. Members benefit musically through various performance opportunities both on-campus and off, which include recitals in the Whalen Center. Members are challenged to seek other ways of bringing their gift of music to the general public. Music service projects include visits to local nursing homes and retirement communities in Ithaca, as well as hospitals and childcare centers. The group offers many scholarship opportunities, fosters an inter-fraternal spirit, and promotes music through education, service and therapy.
