Indianapolis Alumnae Chapter

Why Join Phi Mu?

Joining a sorority can be an important part of the collegiate experience – it can help you navigate these exciting and sometimes challenging times. Regardless of the campus, Phi Mu provides a place you can call home – a place where you belong and are surrounded by women who help you become your best self. We hope you will read more about what makes the Phi Mu experience unique and learn about our sisterhood.

Steadfast in Sisterhood

For sisters, Phi Mu can mean many different things. To a new member, joining Phi Mu is having sisters to call day or night and friends you can turn to for anything. It’s having a home away from home. It’s becoming the best version of yourself with sisters cheering you on through some of the most formative years of your life. It’s about traditions and values – but more than that, it’s about sharing a bond with women who want the best for you and see the best in you.

Our Phi Mu Creed calls our members to uphold our values of love, honor and truth by:

  • Loving our sisters for who they are and help them grow into the best versions of themselves. Love means that we support each other, care for one another, and are guided by actions that encourage, inspire, and build each other up.
  • Honoring our commitments to our sisterhood and to each other. We honor the hearts of our members, and celebrate their different backgrounds, pasts and futures. Honor means that we strive to achieve our best and fight for what we believe in to make the world a better place.
  • Striving to create a sisterhood where each sister can live as the truest version of herself. To be truthful is to be honest and authentic; it is doing the right thing, even when it isn’t the easy or popular choice.

If this sounds like something you want to experience, we hope you will seek out additional opportunities to meet Phi Mu on your campus!

Four Reasons to Join Phi Mu

To Make Friends

Phi Mu offers lifetime friendship among women who will become like sisters to you. Phi Mu can be a key part of your college career and remain relevant throughout your life through alumnae chapters like ours.

To Be The Best You

Phi Mu has always been committed to empowering women to be their personal best. Our chapters are a place where a strong value system is established among young women with high ideals, women who embody Phi Mu’s values of love, honor and truth.

To Lead with Courage

The leadership skills you will develop through Phi Mu are transferrable beyond college and will help you succeed in your future career. You can be part of our continuing tradition and develop the skills necessary to make your own dreams come true.

To Lend a Helping Hand

As the first line of the Phi Mu Creed, it demonstrates how important it is for our members to serve others. If you are passionate about community service and giving back, Phi Mu is the place for you! 

Membership Eligibility

When Phi Mu was founded in 1852, educational opportunities for women were scarce and largely limited to white women of privileged backgrounds. Phi Mu has evolved with the higher education landscape and we hope to offer the benefit of Phi Mu to any eligible woman. 

Phi Mu chapters look for Potential New Members who exemplify our values of love, honor and truth. Any woman shall be eligible for membership, provided she is currently enrolled in a college or university where there is a collegiate chapter and she is not, nor has been, an initiated member of an existing National Panhellenic Conference organization. The word “woman” should be interpreted as anyone who identifies and lives as a woman. 

Potential New Members do not need an alumna reference or letter of recommendation to be eligible for membership. A Phi Mu legacy (i.e. the sister, half-sister, step-sister, daughter, step-daughter, granddaughter or great-granddaughter of a Phi Mu in good standing with the Fraternity) will be extended the same courtesy as all Potential New Members. Membership in Phi Mu is open, but not guaranteed, to all eligible women.
