Phi Mu: Homecoming 2018

Phi Mu, with the help of Fiji and Omega Psi Phi, had the best time getting ready to celebrate homecoming this year, especially with this being the first year with our house and having the opportunity to proudly display our hard work in front of it! Members enjoyed getting to spend time with sisters while pomping, and the opportunity to meet the lovely ladies of our newest pledge class. Our big and little week falls in the middle of pomping, so it was super fun to see each of the new members get so excited during the week about who their big was going to be, and talking to girls to see if they could get it out of them. The gentlemen of Fiji were kind enough to grill out one night and have hotdogs and hamburgers for each member at pomping. This was such a cool way to take a break from the craziness of homecoming and meet the new members of Fiji as well!

Our fearless leader Justine Montgomery and her committee were incredible and organized, and coordinated the pomping of 4 massive structures. Justine says, “My favorite part of the whole process was going from seeing a design on paper to seeing the structures up in our very own front yard for the first time. The ladies of Phi Mu worked so hard on this and I am so proud of them!” One of the coolest things about pomping for homecoming is seeing our chapter come together and make our structures. Everyone works so hard and diligently, and seeing our finished project is the most rewarding feeling.

As mentioned earlier, we loved having the opportunity to celebrate our first homecoming in our new home, and display our pomping masterpieces in front of it. Thursday night before the structures were due, we had a huge speaker out on our front porch playing music while tons of sisters worked hard to attach our chicken wire creations to the wooden display boards. The work was so worth it! Our sisters were also excited to be a part of the parade and pep rally and come together with the rest of the Greek community here on campus! Phi Mu was so proud to be a part of this University of Arkansas tradition with these two amazing Greek organizations, and we are so proud of what we were able to accomplish!
