Chapter At Large (CAL) Membership

For those who choose not to belong to a chorus, membership at the regional and international levels can be obtained through Chapter At Large (CAL) membership.  This category is available to Sweet Adelines International (SAI) members and non-members alike, and enables women to perform and compete in a quartet at regional or international competitions, participate in regional and international educational opportunities, and enjoy all regional and international membership privileges without joining a chorus.

If you are interested in joining as a quartet member only, CAL is the option for you.  If you choose this option, you do not need to locate a chorus prior to joining.

Member At Large (MAL) Membership

Member-at-Large members are affiliated with and pay dues to the international organization but may not compete with either a quartet or chorus.  Member-at Large members affiliated with the international organization only.  They are not affiliated with a chapter or region, and they are not required to pay regional assessments.
