Phi Mu was created by the Founding sisters;
Mary Elizabeth Myrick (Daniel), Mary Ann DuPont (Lines) and Martha Bibb Hardaway (Redding). These ladies were only about 15-17 years old when they were in college are started Phi Mu! It was founded January 4th but they weren't able to fully establish Phi Mu until March 4th 1852, so March 4th is when we celebrate our Founders Day! If you were wondering what we do during Founders Day, it's basically like a brunch with any Phi Mu who's near your location, they don't have to be women in college, they are also alumnae. We don't do some cult like ritual on Founders day like some people make us out to be.

Over the years Charter members started adding to Phi Mu; Making our Phi Pin, Badge, Coat of Arms, Flower, Color, Mascot...
Our Phi Pin and Badge are both in the shape of a quatrefoil the only difference is the Phi pins have a Greek letter of Phi on the front where as our badge has our shield.
Phi Mu is really into trio's because we had three founders and ever since then we have things that match in threes like Love Honor and Truth. For every Phi Mu "Love Honor and Truth" resonates differently than the other. For myself, I really hold myself to the "truth" portion of this saying because you can love someone and be honorable but you can't do either if your not truthful, not only with yourself but with others.
Hopefully you all can say that you've been impacted at some point of your life and it changed your perspective on life.
