Phi Mu opinions

[PhiMugal]

Hi! I was just wondering what the general opinion of Phi Mu is. We have a great chapter where I am but I wanted to see how we are elsewhere, thanks!

To me, Phi Mu seems to be a sorority that is stronger in the south... we don't have Phi Mu at the University of Iowa

Strong at Mississippi State and Auburn (often considered the "face" sorority!) but the chapter at Arkansas folded twice. It's a very good group in Georgia and Alabama; I've heard that the chapters at UGa, Jacksonville State, Ga Tech, and West Ga are really good!

I don't really like post like this. I'm sure Phimugirl that you had good intentions though. I just feel like the organization as a whole is bigger than the chapter. We all know that on cetain campuses an organization is not as popular as it might be on another, but it's still Phi Mu or whatever. I took an oath to Kappa Alpha Psi, not to my chapter. I don't care what people think of my organization on campus, for Kappa is the same everywhere you go. We're bunch of brothers for which Achievement is our main purpose.

It kinda bothers me that every other sorority has asked the same question on this board but I get a negative reaction when I ask. I thought that is what bulletin boards like this were for, to find out info. and communicate with one another on friendly terms about greek life.
When I get reactions like this it makes me not want to post here at all, and that was my very first post! I hope no one takes offense and I'm sorry if you have, but this is just how I feel.

I agree with you. I know that I posted a question about my own sorority and people answered without any negative reaction to the topic. I then read your post saw that you got negative responses from people. I feel bad because this was your first post. I'm sorry if I offend anyone by saying this but if you had something negative to say in this post, you should've created a new topic. Almost every one of us is guilty for asking about our greek organization's reputation, therefore the response should have had its own topic; it should not have been posted under PhiMugal's topic.

i don't think anyone was aiming to be hurtful in their responses... we're simply stating that we take an oath to our nationals, not our chapters - we shouldn't care how others percieve us, what made us want to be a Phi Mu or a Delta Zeta ect. is all that should matter... if we didn't care so much about what others thought of us - we'd be a lot more free and way happier :-) no matter what, as greeks, we have the utmost respect for each others letters.

I think Nupe4Life was just saying that we have seen this asked about every sorority and it is getting somewhat tiresome. It has nothing to do with Phi Mu specifically. This isn't the first time we have gone through the cycle either! So please don't take it personally.

Someone did take part of Nupe4Life's response and post it in a separate thread.

[PhiMugal]

Thank you to everyone who responded, I can see what you mean and I appreciate and respect your opinions too

Hey PhiMuGal,
We have Phi Mu here at my school and since i want to rush this spring, I have been doing some research on it. There arent many Phi Mu chapters here in texas, but i know that at my school all the girls are really sweet! Ill keep you posted if I become one

[CutiePie2000]

I live in Canada and there aren't any Phi Mu chapters, so I really cannot say! I haven't ever knowingly met a Phi Mu.

That being said, I'm sure that Phi Mu is like many other sororities....it has lots of members are wonderful, and also other member who are, (ahem!) "less" than wonderful.

[KarenC725]

Since my mother is a Phi Mu, I have to love them! I know many great girls from across the country and a terrific alum from Salisbury State in MD.

I am A KD at Troy State University and Phi Mu is great here! They are my fave sorority after mine of course. They are beautiful and lots of fun. I have alot of good friends who are Phi Mu's. KD and Phi Mu always stick together on everything, and are definitely the two best sororities here!!

[sororitychick]

well phi mu seems to be a southern sorority, it needs to establish more chapters in the north as well.

[Allie_XO]

Phi Mu at the University of South Alabama is pretty good. They are known as the blond and the beautiful, but some are lacking in the brains department. Some (not all) reportedly are VERY friendly with the guys, but one of my best friends in a Phi Mu, and she's the sweetest girl in the world. On this campus though, XO and Phi Mu have a bit of a rivalry, so I can't be completely impartial. (So far were are on top !)
