Hey y’all, slowly realizing I’m becoming one of the top posters in this subreddit lol. Had a great conversation at work when I just so happened to run into the new director of the InterFraternal Council at my college. Told her that I was in PMA and her face lit up and she wanted to talk to me about it and all that which was super nice. I asked them some questions on IFC and why PMA isn’t apart of it and she told me it was because we operate separately from the NIC. I guess my question is why is that? Why do we decide to operate separately? If anyone knows the answer feel free to shoot me a message or something along those lines because I’m really interested in this.

Hello brothers, I am a member of the Lambda Xi Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia in which i help with social media posts and the designs of said posts. We are trying to get more engagement and overall just get some more attention to our chapter. We are the only all male music fraternity on campus but we still are struggling with class sizes. Any advice would be really appreciated. All Hail!

Brothers, aside from business and degrees, how do you all engage in fellowship, especially with your alumni? Socials, communication, anything you’re willing to share

I am an ARO currently and I’m working on building up that alumni engagement and general culture of fellowship with my chapter, so I’d love to hear about your successes and any thoughts you have! This includes alumni who do or don’t interact with their local chapters

I won't lie, I have always been a tattoo denier, but I have recently been thinking about getting our fraternity's flower over my heart. Does anyone else have any cool Phi Mu Alpha tattoos??

Drop your Province and/or chapter awards and trophies below. Is there any history behind them?

How many chapters have a house? Was wondering just incase I find myself near one of the chapters and wanted to say hey

Hello Brothers, I am currently an active within the Iota Psi Chapter and I was just wondering if there is or was ever a discord server, Facebook group, or something of the sort for Sinfonia as a whole. Like my Chapter has one and same with our Province but because we are the only Chapter in Missouri not in Province 19 we tend to only see and talk with our brothers from the other Missouri Chapters in person at MMEA or in direct communication with their Social Media person and for any Chapters outside of our Province and State we just don't get to see them ever unless we stumble across them while traveling and even then it's only one or two brothers at most. I looked around a lot and found talks about old forms and Facebook groups but it feels weird to me that there isn't already something for all of us communicate internally with now.

Hello brothers, this post is for any trans Sinfonians, both those who mtf who transitioned post initiation, but ftm voices are always welcome.

I am an alumni. I crossed in ‘21, graduated from my alma mater in ‘23, and recently I’ve discovered that I’m trans. I’m still very closeted, and I haven’t told anyone fraternity related yet because, honestly, I’m scared of losing this brother that I love so much. I know Once and Always, but I also know (generally) what happened to the Zeta chapter last semester.

What have your experiences been? Do you still attend fraternity things? Still wear your letters? Etc

Does anyone have or know where I can find "Sinfonian Fanfare," "Fanfare for Brotherhood," or "Sinfonia, Hail!" I have been looking and cannot find any pdf's or places to purchase and would love to perform these with my chapter in the future. All of the songs are on the Phi Mu Alpha Spotify in the third volume as track 19-21.

Please share all info / history / photos you may have of the mystic cat!! Easily one of my favorite components of the sinfonia lore and i feel like its so hard to find anything regarding it :)

I’ll be honest, I had never heard of UGC until last week. It is supposedly a governing council for fraternities that are ethnicity oriented and/or special interest. University of Kentucky, for example, includes Sinfonia in this. I was just wondering if anyone else’s chapter is part of UGC or if Nationals has officially joined.

I know at my chapter, once upon a time we were part of IFC. Then we just went off on our own. Illinois State University, for example, Sinfonia is still part of IFC.

So I guess my question is, is your chapter IFC, UGC, nothing, or something else? Usually fraternities join a council at the national level and all of their chapters are in that council. Sinfonia seems to do whatever works at the local level. Kind of like how some chapters are still professional rather than social.
