In April 2018, the Columbus, OH Phi Mu Alumnae Chapter was relaunched to reconnect with all the sisters living in Central Ohio.
Our goal is to provide monthly opportunities for sisterhood at events across Columbus - mostly virtual this year due to COVID-19! We also have a members-only online community via Slack.
If you would like to get connected with the chapter, email columbusphimu@gmail.com or fill out this Interest Form!
The Phi Mu Badge is a uniquely shaped shield of gold overlaid with a black shield bearing the two bonds, three stars, a hand clasping a heart and the Greek letters “Phi Mu.”
The barbed quatrefoil is Phi Mu’s symbol. It is a unique shape and can be traced back to early European design.
Designed in 1904 by Annie Laurie Mallory (Parker), Alpha, assisted by Louise Monning (Elliott), Alpha, it features the badge, mascot and open motto.
The rose-colored carnation. While the rose-colored carnation in the language of flowers refers to “women’s love and sisterhood,” Lillian Estes (Davis), Alpha, Grand Historian 1907-1908, wrote that “pink carnations are, and always have been, the emblematic flower.”
Our Open Motto: “Les Soeurs Fideles,” or, "The Faithful Sisters"
Phi Mu is the only sorority to be a corporate sponsor of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH). Supporting 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide, Phi Mu has raised over $8.5 million since 1986, improving the quality of life for children everywhere. Locally, we raise money for Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Phi Mu was founded in March 4, 1852 at Wesleyan College in Macon, Ga. and is the second oldest sorority in the nation. For over 160 years Phi Mu has been shaping collegiate women. Take a look back at the women who helped charter some of our members' chapters.
