| About: | This is the Phi Mu community on LiveJournal. If you are a collegiate or alumni member of a Phi Mu chapter, please feel free to join. All members can post their questions, feelings, concerns, and love for our wonderful sorority. Please do not join if you are not a member of the sorority. For those of you who aren't members of Phi Mu, our history, symbols, and links are listed below. History adapted from phimu.org On January 4, 1852, Mary Ann DuPont-Lines, Mary Elizabeth Myrick-Daniel and Martha Bibb Hardaway-Redding founded an organization called the Philomathean Society at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia. Wesleyan was the first institution to grant college degrees to women. For the next two months the Founders were busy gathering additional members, creating a constitution, devising an initiation service and adopting a secret and an open motto. On March 4, 1852, the members announced the formation of their new society, which became the Alpha Chapter of Phi Mu Fraternity. Since that time, March 4 has been observed as Founders' Day. By the turn of the century, the Philomathean Society had developed a strong body of alumnae, a history rich in tradition and the confidence to expand into a national organization. On August 1, 1904, the Philomathean Society was chartered by the State of Georgia as a national organization with the exclusive use of the Greek letters Phi and Mu and the right to establish additional chapters on other campuses. Phi Mu is the second oldest womens sorority/fraternity in the United States. The year, 2002, marked our Sesquicentennial Celebration. We are proud to be celebrating over 150 years of sisterhood. Today Phi Mu has grown to encompass a diverse membership of more than 140,000 women nationwide. Our Creed To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand. To think of God as a protector and guide of us all. To keep forever sacred the memory of those we have loved and lost. To be to others what we would they would be to us. To keep our lives gentle, merciful and just, thus being true to the womanhood of love. To walk in the way of honor, guarding the purity of our thoughts and deeds. Being steadfast in every duty small or large. Believing that our given word is binding. Striving to esteem the inner man above culture, wealth or pedigree. Being honorable, courteous, tender, thus being true to the womanhood of honor. To serve in the light of truth avoiding egotism, narrowness, and scorn. To give freely of our sympathies. To reverence God as our Maker, striving to serve Him in all things. To minister to the needy and unfortunate. To practice day by day love, honor, truth. Thus keeping true to the meaning, spirit and reality of Phi Mu.
