Phi Mu's Founders felt so strongly about philanthropic activities that the first line in the Phi Mu Creed reads, "To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand." These words aren't just clever prose, they're a guiding principle for Phi Mu's everywhere. The tradition is carried on today in many chapter activities Phi Mu is the only sorority to be a corporate sponsor of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals(CMNH). Supporting 170 CMN hospitals nationwide, Phi Mus across the country have raised $1.8 million in just this year, improving the quality of life for children everywhere. In addition to raising funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Phi Mu's also volunteer countless hours of volunteer work at area hospitals. Click here for more information.

We have had 12 girls go to Orlando, Florida to Disney World, to run in the Disney Princess Half Marathon that benefited Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

For the past three years, our members have had the amazing opportunity to visit Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, TN. Here, we visit the hospital staff and hand out stuffed animals and other goodies to the patients. Our members love seeing the impact all of our fundraising has on such an amazing place.
