Philanthropy and Service Opportunities

As we grow, many of us feel a deeper desire to give back and make a difference in the world.

Lifelong Friendship and Connection

As we grow older, maintaining friendships can become more challenging. But Phi Mu’s sisterhood is built to last for life. Alumnae chapters bring together women from all walks of life, allowing you to build deep and lasting connections with sisters who share your values and experiences.

These connections often run deeper than your college relationships, as you’re bonding over shared life experiences and a mutual commitment to love, honor, and truth.

Opportunities for Leadership and Growth

No matter your stage of life, Phi Mu offers opportunities for personal growth and leadership. Alumnae chapters provide flexible ways to get involved, whether you want to take on a leadership role, mentor younger sisters, or simply participate in chapter events.

  • Alumnae Leadership: If you’re interested in taking on a leadership role, alumnae chapters often need women to serve as officers, event planners, and philanthropy coordinators. Leading as an alumna is a great way to continue developing your skills while making a meaningful impact on your chapter and community.
  • Mentorship Opportunities: As an alumna, you have the opportunity to mentor collegiate sisters or younger alumnae. Your life experience and professional expertise can provide invaluable guidance to women who are navigating their own transitions into adulthood and career life.
