List of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia chapters
The chapter is the basic unit of organization in Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. The designation of chapter has been given to at least three different kinds of organization over the history of the Fraternity: collegiate, alumni, and professional. The only form currently in use, the collegiate chapter, is defined as an organization at a college, university, or school of music that has been granted a charter by the Fraternity.〔Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, ("National Constitution" ), 2012 revision. Retrieved 5 September 2015. Article IV Section 1.〕 There are currently 248 active collegiate chapters spread across 38 provinces in the United States, and 448 chapters have been chartered in total over the history of the organization.〔Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, ("Collegiate Chapters" ). Retrieved 5 September 2015. Currently, arriving at these numbers requires manually going through each state and counting.〕
Alumni chapters existed between 1966 and 1976, after which they were designated as professional chapters by the 1976 National Assembly at the University of Evansville.〔T. Jervis Underwood. ''Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia: A Centennial History'' 2nd ed. ''Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia'', 2005. 6.6 - 6.7. Underwood’s ''Centennial History'' is organized by section and the pagination reflects this, with this information being found on the 6th and 7th pages of section 6.〕 Professional chapters, notable for being able to initiate brothers, lasted from the creation of an experimental chapter in Washington, D.C., in 1974 until the final two professional chapters dissolved in the 1985-1988 triennium.〔Underwood 2005, 6.19-6.20.〕 During the 1997 National Assembly in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Fraternity returned to the idea of an organizational space for alumni engagement by establishing alumni associations.〔Underwood 2005, 8.16-8.17〕 The Fraternity currently has 24 alumni associations spread over 19 provinces.〔Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, ("Area Alumni Associations" ). Retrieved 5 September 2015.〕
==Formation and Closure==
Chapters are formed by the granting of charters to petitioning groups at qualified institutions of higher education.〔 The only basic qualification for an institution to house a chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia is that it offer a four-year degree in music.〔Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, ("Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Colony Program Overview" ). Retrieved 5 September 2015.〕 Prior to receiving a charter, petitioning groups must seek recognition as a colony, which is the designation given to a developing chapter. After being recognized as a colony, the petitioning group must complete the fraternity's Colony Program, which consists of numerous activities designed to help the group organize itself as an effective and viable branch of the fraternity.〔 After completing all aspects of the Fraternity's Colony Program, a colony may be approved by the Commission on Standards to receive a chapter charter.〔
Chapter charters may be recalled by the Commission on Standards for operational or disciplinary reasons, either placing the chapter on inactive status 〔Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, ("National Bylaws, Title 1. National" ), 2012 Revision. Retrieved 5 September 2015. Article II Section 3.〕 or by expelling the chapter by revoking its charter 〔Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, ''National Bylaws, Title 1. National''. Article XVIII Section 6.〕 respectively. Inactive chapters may be reactivated through the Colony Program,〔 but groups at institutions that formerly housed chapters of Sinfonia that were expelled or had their charter revoked must wait no less than seven years before recolonizing.〔
