Alumni Groups are composed of post-collegiate Brothers who
come together for the fulfillment offered by continuous fellowship
and service in the fraternity. These groups live out the motto "Once
A Sinfonian, Always a Sinfonian, Long Live Sinfonia." Their ultimate
goal is to keep the spirit of Sinfonia kindled in the hearts of
their members. Alumni groups are separated into two classifications:
officially recognized Alumni Associations and unrecognized Alumni
Association Interest Groups and Area Contacts.
Alumni Associations are groups of alumni that have been officially recognized by the national fraternity. Each group went through the process of electing officers and filing a petition with the Commission on Standards. Consequently, they were granted official Alumni Association status. They are made up of Sinfonians residing in a particular geographic area regardless of their initiating chapter. As alumni move into the area, these groups welcome them and help to maintain their bonds with the fraternity. Members of these groups support the fraternity with their membership dues and make annual reports on the status of their accomplishments. Below are links to information about the current Alumni Associations:
Unrecognized Groups Alumni Interest Groups are normally informal gatherings of alumni from many chapters meeting primarily as a social group. They are organic entities that are able to evolve to suit the needs of the alumni that form them. There are no rules governing the operations of these groups but in general they should try to uphold Sinfonia's noble goals and respect each member as a true brother. Most Alumni Groups start out as Alumni Interest Groups then decide if they wish to become Alumni Associations. Below are some links to information about the current known Alumni Interest Groups: If you are a member of an Interest Group not listed above, please let us know about your organization so we can add you to our list. Area Contacts are an important element in forming Alumni Groups. These are brothers who either are currently members of Alumni Groups or are interested in forming one in a given area. If your area is not listed and you would like to be added to our list please let us know.
