Phi Mu: Semester Recap

What a semester it has been for Alpha Beta!

#MUMANSION

As this semester comes to an end, it is incredible to see the progress that is being made and the growth that is occurring within our chapter, and not just through the construction on OUR NEW HOUSE!!! 792 West Maple Street is looking beautiful, and we cannot wait to move into the Mu Mansion in the Fall! We loved having the opportunity to deliver doughnuts to our dedicated construction team working hard on the house of our dreams, and we are so thankful!

#GIRLBOSS

With the installation of our new executive board in January came a new wave of leadership, and Alpha Beta is under the diligent guidance and care of 13 of the most incredible and dedicated women who put their hearts and souls into each and every thing they do for our chapter.

WE GOT IT FROM OUR MAMAS

Phi Mu celebrated some of the most powerful and influential women in our lives at our Mom’s Weekend in early March. We enjoyed lunch at Mermaid’s, cake decorating at Rick’s Bakery, and spending a relaxed and stress-free weekend with our biggest fans and best friends!

GO PHI MU! IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!

On March 4^th, we celebrated 166 years of the SWEETEST sisterhood. We are forever thankful to Mary, Mary and Martha for establishing the place we are fortunate enough to call home today, and we hope we are making you proud!!

PHI MU IS #FORTHEKIDS

Did you know, there are 170 hospitals that make up Children’s Miracle Network, and every minute, 62 children are admitted to one of these facilities for treatment? On March 10^th, Phi Mu joined forces with Hogs for Hope to support our INCREDIBLE philanthropy, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, through the annual University of Arkansas Dance Marathon. To represent the 12-hour shift of a nurse in the hospitals we support, we were encouraged to stand and dance for 12 hours straight in order to better immerse ourselves into the cause we are supporting. Members were also able to meet patients who have been treated here in Arkansas at Arkansas Children’s in Little Rock and the new Arkansas Children’s Northwest in Springdale, which was an incredible vision of how the money we raise is helping children. We were thrilled to spend the day with our sisters and other students, and we were honored to help raise over $43,648 for the kids helped by CMNH every day.

DESTINATION PHI MU:

We said “Hasta Pronto!,” “Bon Voyage!,” and “Arrivederci!” to several of our sisters who traveled overseas to study abroad, and wooooow are we jealous (they post too many pics of the BOMB food for us to not be)!!! They look like they are having the times of their life, but we miss them bunches and cannot wait for them to come home and share stories of their experiences!

WORK HARD, PLAY HARD

Phi Mu is all about that #PanLove and it shows in our reception of the Panhellenic Spirit Award! We were so proud to receive 1^st place in Delta Gamma’s Anchor Splash, 1^st place in the IFC Bowling Tournament, and 1^st place in Kappa’s King of the Kourt! One of the best parts of being involved in Greek life is getting to participate in these events and so many more with other organizations on campus, including Greek Sing and Derby Days! We are also SUPER excited because one of our amazing members (who cannot be named because she is currently serving as Gamma Chi) was named as the Panhellenic Greek Woman of the Month for the month of April!

 

THIS IS GOODNIGHT, AND NOT GOODBYE

To close a semester full of many memories, it was with heavy hearts that Alpha Beta said “see you soon” to over 80 influential and beautiful women as they officially obtained Alumni status on April 30^th. What an incredible blessing these women were to our chapter, and what large shoes we have to fill!

Spring semester, you have been too good to us!!! But…BIIIIIIIIG things are happening, people, and we CANNOT WAIT to see what Alpha Beta will be up to next!
