Sisters of the SED,

The Eighth Note is now accepting submissions for the 2018 publication!

We are asking for submissions by MARCH 1ST so that we can have the publication finalized by SED Convention in April!

These can be (but are not limited to) written articles, poems, songs, and photographs. This is a chance to showcase you and your chapter’s work!

Feel free to submit works that reflect the themes of musicianship, sisterhood, or service and make sure to include your name and chapter when you submit it! Submissions also go toward fulfilling the District Lyre piece!

Additionally this is a joint publication with Kappa Kappa Psi so if you want to work with a member of your brother chapter that would be great too!

Follow the link below to submit your work.  There are some prompts in the drive and I have included a link to last year’s publication if you need some examples but if you have any further questions feel free to reach out to RJ Gammon, Hunter Burchfield, Karina Tamayo, or Ryn Stuff.
