Joining a sorority can be an important part of the collegiate experience – it can help you navigate these exciting and sometimes challenging times. Regardless of the campus, Phi Mu provides a place you can call home – a place where you belong and are surrounded by women who help you become your best self. We hope you will read more about what makes the Phi Mu experience unique and learn about our sisterhood.
For sisters, Phi Mu can mean many different things. To a new member, joining Phi Mu is having sisters to call day or night and friends you can turn to for anything. It’s having a home away from home. It’s becoming the best version of yourself with sisters cheering you on through some of the most formative years of your life. It’s about traditions and values – but more than that, it’s about sharing a bond with women who want the best for you and see the best in you.
The friendships you build in Phi Mu aren't just for college; they're for life. From your first days as a new member to being paired with a Big Sister, to eventually finding your people in an alumnae chapter wherever life takes you, Phi Mu stays with you. With collegiate chapters across the country and hundreds of alumnae chapters beyond graduation, you're never far from a sister. That's nearly 200,000 Phi Mu women around the world!
Phi Mu has always believed in the potential of the women who walk through its doors. What started as a literary society, a space for young women to explore ideas, challenge themselves and pursue something meaningful together, has grown into a sisterhood built on that same spirit. Here, you'll find an environment rooted in love, honor and truth, where accountability and authenticity aren't just ideals, they're everyday practice. Phi Mu won't ask you to be perfect. It will push you, gently and consistently, to become more fully yourself.
Leadership in Phi Mu isn't reserved for a certain type of person. Leadership is something you grow into, at your own pace, in your own way. Through elected and appointed positions, personal development workshops and real networking opportunities, you'll build skills that follow you well beyond graduation. Our three Founders started something in 1852 that has lasted nearly 175 years. Not because it was perfect, but because it was built on genuine commitment to one another. You get to be part of that story, and to write your own chapter in it.
"To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand." The first line of the Phi Mu Creed isn't just words, it's a way of showing up in the world. If giving back matters to you, you'll find your home here. Phi Mu has a long tradition of service, especially in support of the health and well-being of women and children. Together, our members raise and contribute over $2 million annually to Children's Miracle Network [link], and log thousands of hours of community service in local hospitals, communities and campuses across the country. That impact starts with women like you.
