Ugh... Hurl.
Imagine Believe Achieve was bad enough.
Vibrant just
isn't. Can't we just stick with
Love, Honor, Truth? I mean, it's worked for almost a century; why try to change it?

Amen, sister. I got to proof-read an article for the upcoming issue of our magazine, and the whole. thing. read. like. a. 14-year-old's. term. paper. Full of one-word "sentences" and actual sentences that began with the word "and." I got over the "and" part quickly enough because they want it to sound conversational, but the whole thing just read like one, huge schmaltzburger, and it was actually rather painful.
I didn't see it for Phi Mu, so here goes...
Open Motto:
Les Soeurs Fideles (French for "The Faithful Sisters")
Tagline:
Vibrant. (I think this is just about the stupidest tagline ever, and we should just use our ideals of "Love, Honor, Truth" as our tagline.)
Flower: Rose carnation (sometimes called the "enchantress carnation," though ours is technically not that variety)
Jewel: None
Color: Rose and White
Official Mascot: The lion, named
Sir Fidel (after our open motto)
Other Symbols: The barbed quatrefoil, a hand holding a heart, three stars
