I've heard that occasionally (as in a handful of times in the last 30 years), and only on campuses where there is no Phi Mu chapter. But the chapter should have known better.

ETA: The random things one thinks of when walking the dog. I realized that I should mention that I can think of one old Sinfonian sweetheart song that sing the praises of "a girl of old Phi Mu."

I find this kind of funny because Sigma Phi was SigEp's original [proposed] name!
