DeltaBaby, Phi Mu does have secret meaning. I've heard a lot of girls say they forgot -- or just plain have no memory at ALL -- of things revealed to them during initiation. All the excitement and anticipation and nervousness can play tricks with your mind.
I know the secret meaning of Phi Mu is held so sacred it's not to be written or spoken freely. I'd imagine other orgs hold their meanings as close to their hearts as we do, so I bet a lot of the "meanings" you hear aren't true.
Phi Mu DOES have an "unofficial" meaning. We explain to the potential new members, when they come through, that the Phi can be seen to represent the continuity and unity of the group intersected by the individuality of the individual (as in, the circle intercected by the upright bar in the greek letter F )and the Mu can be seen to represent the hills and valleys of life, through which we depend on each other to grow and develop into better women (as in, the points in the greek letter M ).
That is NOT at ALL our secret meaning. In fact, I'm not completely sure it's not something my CHAPTER didn't just make up. It's just something little we use to demonstrate to the potential new members that in a GLO there is meaning behind EVERYTHING, and if you are chose to be a part of that meaning you need to be prepared for more than just parties and alcohol.
DGWannabe, I find it hard to believe you didn't know about Panhellenic rules.
