The
Pi Sigma chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, founded in
1967, is located at Samford University.
It is our hope that you will use this website to
familiarize yourself with our fraternity. As a chapter,
we strive to further our social, musical, and
philanthropic contributions not only at Samford, but
also in the greater Birmingham area. As stated in our
fraternity’s object, part of what we work toward is the
advancement of music in America. Yet there is much
more to Phi Mu Alpha than music alone. Sinfonia's
founder Ossian Everett Mills once said, “This is to be a
man of the highest type. To be and not seem; to do and
not simply to talk; to have the right ideal, the true
motive and patiently to transform conduct in accordance
with it. So let it be for SINFONIA.”
If you have any questions about who we are and what we
do, please feel free to contact me at (404) 667-5926 or
dsbanke@samford.edu.

 Welcome to the
Pi Sigma Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia at Samford
University! You might be asking yourself, "What is
Sinfonia?" Sinfonia is a social fraternity where
each man shares a common bond of brotherhood through the
love of music. Music is the fiber that binds
Sinfonians together here and nationwide. Sinfonia
seeks not only the manly musician, but at the same time
the musicianly man. We are not a professional
fraternity, but we strive for professionalism in
everything we do. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia forms a
lifetime bond through shared experience and love of
music; brotherhood is a bond that transcends simple
friendship. With over 200 chapters nationwide, Phi
Mu Alpha Sinfonia is a rich part of American tradition
from its beginnings at the New England Conservatory in
1898 to the present and into the future.
