A Sisterhood Grounded in Music

About LCAC

The Lake County Alumnae Chapter (LCAC) was chartered on November 6, 1965. Housed in the Beta B Province of Region V, this active and vibrant chapter boasts a robust membership of Sigma Alpha Iota sisters from all over Northwest Indiana. Our members live in service to music through their teaching, performance, and advocacy.

The chapter meets monthly at Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church in Merrillville and holds an annual Musicale for the benefit of SAI Philanthropies, INC. We frequently perform in the community and collaborate often with our sisters in the Beta Lambda chapter at Valparaiso University.
