List of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia chapters

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia (ΦΜΑ) is an American collegiate social fraternity for men with a special interest in music.

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.

[5] Chapters are formed by the granting of charters to petitioning groups at qualified institutions of higher education.

[2] The only basic qualification for an institution to house a chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia is that it offers a four-year degree in music.

[6] Before receiving a charter, petitioning groups must seek recognition as a colony, which is the designation given to a developing chapter.

[8] The Alpha chapter, founded in 1898 at the New England Conservatory of Music as the Sinfonia Club, was active until 1977.

Like those of many other Greek-letter fraternities, chapters of Phi Mu Alpha have names consisting of either one or two Greek letters.

If there has never been a chapter at an institution, then a colony there is issued a name consisting of the state where the institution is located followed by a single Greek letter to distinguish it from any other colonies in the state (e.g., Texas Gamma, Ohio Beta, etc.).
