The Eta Pi Chapter had its earliest beginnings in 1989, when a group of young ladies formed the Stetson University Womens' Music Club to prepare to petition Sigma Alpha Iota for admission as a chapter. Dr. Jean West, an alumna of Gamma Iota chapter at James Madison University, and Mrs. Eva Lurtz, an alumna of the Alpha Nu chapter at Youngstown University, were the primary forces in the preparation for installation. On April 28, 1990, the Eta Pi chapter was formally installed with the national vice-president, Dr. Brenda Ray, assisting. The Charter members of Eta Pi were: Renee D. Branch Amy Butcher Ellen Duffy Liz Lam Danielle E. Martin Anne K. McBride Susan J. McGonigal Jennifer McLean Christine Elaine Miller Wendy Ryan Diana L. Ryder Sheri Van Wormer Ruth E. Watkins Jane S. Wendt Cynthia Kae Woodard
