Phi Mu and Pikes
To the lady who asked about Ann Bowden and Phi Mu: Yes, I think she is active with the sorority. I was told that she was president of Phi Mu at the same time Coach Bowden was president of Pike, and they were married at the time.
Bobby-the-Don, you are right about Col Sanders: his son was an undergrad at Florida and the Col was an honorary initiate.
Thi is a good story about an FSU alum. He's not famous but he is rich, which is almost as good as famous. Harry Sargeant, Jr owns the largest fleet of ocean-going oil tankers in the world. He is an FSU Pike ('78) and his son Harry III is an '03 initiate. Harry wrote a check for the lead gift to build the chapter's new house. And, when he was in China last year pursuing an oil deal, he noticed his Chinese host had an old, vintage firetruck. Harry made that part of the deal, shipped the 1938 Chevvy back to the States for a full restoration job, then had it transported secretly to Tallahassee where it was his surprise gift to the chapter at groundbreaking.
