Welcome to the homepage of the Gamma Theta Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia!
The Gamma Theta Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia was granted its charter on Sunday, May 19, 1940. At the time, the University of North Texas was called North Texas Teachers’ College. By the 1960′s, Gamma Theta boasted over 120 members! The chapter currently has over 50 active brothers, and we are continuing to grow with each semester. Brothers from both inside and outside of the North Texas family have found a home in the Gamma Theta Chapter! We hope that you will consider contacting us to find out more about how you can become a Sinfonian.
