Phi Mu
Phi Mu prides itself on strong sisterhood and a longstanding tradition. The
differences members possess as individuals are retained and complimented in Phi Mu.
Phi Mu was founded at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia on January 4, 1852.
Phi Mu was originally founded as the Philomathean Society by three young women,
Mary, Mary, and Martha. For several years around the turn of the century, there were
discussions about becoming a national organization, and in 1900 they adopted the
Greek name, Phi Mu, which symbolized the Society’s secret motto. In 1903 the
national charter was received by the state of Georgia, and the original membership
became the first chapter of Phi Mu. The open motto for Phi Mu is “Les Soeurs Fideles.”
The Alpha Alpha chapter of Phi Mu was founded as the first sorority at the University
of Georgia on April 28, 1921.
The sisters of Phi Mu enjoy each other’s company and strengthen their
sisterhood through their commitment to enhancing the community. Local alumnae
support members in their philanthropic endeavors in the community. Phi Mu’s
philanthropy is the Children’s Miracle Network. To benefit the Children’s Miracle
Network, Phi Mu hosts an annual golf tournament and participates in ugaMIRACLE.
The members of Phi Mu are proud to be the chapter in the southeast that has raised the
most money for their philanthropy and the second largest
amount of money nationally. When you visit Phi Mu,
you will experience the sisterhood and constant support
Phi Mus offer each other in academic, social and
philanthropic arenas.
We look forward to sharing our sisterhood with you
and wish you the best of luck in Recruitment.
