PHI MU

'Phi Mu' ('ΦΜ') is the second oldest secret organization for women in the United States. It was founded at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia on January 4, 1852 and was announced publicly on the fourth of March of the same year. The original name for this group was the Philomathean Society (not associated with the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania). Phi Mu's three founders were Mary Myrick Daniel, Mary Dupont Lines, and Martha Hardaway Redding. In 1904, the Philomathean Society became the Greek letter organization Phi Mu. The term "sorority" had not yet been coined, and the organization is called a "fraternity for women."
Today, Phi Mu has over 150 collegiate chapters across the United States and over 150,000 initiated sisters. Phi Mu has 175 alumnae chapters across the nation. Phi Mu's national headquarter is in Peachtree City, Georgia. Phi Mu's national philanthropy is Children's Miracle Network, which raises money to support children's hospitals across the country. Phi Mu's all across the nation share the ideals and bond of their creed: Love, Honor, and Truth.
In 1904, Phi Mu became a member of the National Panhellenic Conference.
Additionally, Phi Mu has internal organizations, such as Phi Mu Foundation which supports further involvement in the organization.
