After graduation, life can take you in a million different directions—new jobs, new cities, and new experiences. But one thing that never changes is your bond with Phi Mu. As alumnae, our connection to the sisterhood remains strong, and one of the best ways to show that pride is by continuing to wear your letters. Here’s why rocking your Phi Mu gear post-college is not just stylish—it’s meaningful!
Show Your Pride and Support for Phi Mu
Wearing your letters after college is a powerful way to show the world that Phi Mu is still a big part of your life. Whether it’s your favorite t-shirt, a sweatshirt from your collegiate days, or a chic new piece from the Carnation Collection, those letters represent more than just an organization—they stand for the values of love, honor, and truth that unite us all. By wearing your letters, you’re helping to promote our beloved sisterhood and spread awareness about the incredible work Phi Mu continues to do, from supporting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals to funding scholarships through the Phi Mu Foundation.
A Connection to Sisters Everywhere
You never know when a chance encounter will lead to a new sisterly bond! Wearing your letters is an easy way to identify yourself as a Phi Mu sister—and sometimes that’s all it takes to strike up a conversation with someone you might never have met otherwise. Whether you're in a new city for work, traveling, or just out for a coffee run, those letters can be an instant icebreaker. And who knows? The Phi Mu sister you meet might be looking to join an alumnae chapter or could even become one of your closest friends.
Stay Engaged with Phi Mu Alumnae Life
Just because you’ve graduated doesn’t mean your Phi Mu journey is over. Wearing your letters can be a great reminder to stay involved with Phi Mu through alumnae chapters, events, and volunteering. It’s also a wonderful way to spark conversations about your alumnae chapter or encourage sisters to get reconnected. Alumnae life is full of opportunities to meet new people, give back to your community, and relive the best parts of your Phi Mu experience in a new, grown-up way. Plus, there’s always the chance to show your support at philanthropy events, meet-ups, or even when cheering on collegiate chapters!
Nostalgia Meets Style with the Carnation Collection

A Constant Reminder of Sisterhood
Wearing your letters keeps the spirit of sisterhood close, even after you’ve walked across the graduation stage. It’s a way to honor the memories of your collegiate years and remind yourself of the support system you’ll always have in Phi Mu. On tough days, slipping on your Phi Mu sweatshirt can remind you of the countless sisters who’ve had your back and the shared experiences that shaped you into the woman you are today.
So, Why Not Wear Your Letters?
Phi Mu isn’t just for four years—it’s for life. By wearing your letters, you’re celebrating the bond we all share as sisters and ensuring that the spirit of Phi Mu continues to flourish, even in your post-college life. Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends, sparking new sisterly connections, or supporting our national initiatives, your letters represent a lifelong commitment to love, honor, and truth.
So next time you’re reaching into your closet, why not grab that Phi Mu tee or jacket? It’s more than just a piece of clothing—it’s a symbol of who you are and the sisterhood you’ll always be a part of.
