Hi, i'm Chloe Knox, the president of Phi Mu.
and i'd like you to get a little glimpse
of what it's like to be a part of our
sisterhood. I hope you enjoy!
TERIANNE: When i was two years old my liver and
kidneys were failing
and all i wanted to do was sleep. The
doctor started doing all these tests and
everything
and i was at a children's miracle
network hospital. It was actually a tumor
on my thyroid.
They removed it and ever since then i've
just been without a thyroid. iI've been
taking medicine for it, but they saved my
life and
now i just want to give back and make a
difference the way that they made a
difference in my life.
OLIVIA: At six months of age i had my first open
heart surgery
and then at nine years old i had my
second open heart surgery.
So without my children's hospital I
really wouldn't be here today without
them.
It's been a long journey but it's been
fun.
CAT: I fell in love with Phi Mu on our
campus's philanthropy day
because i saw all the things that had to
do with children's miracle network.
Just seeing how they help so many
miracle kids..
its incredible and there's nothing that
can top that for me.
I just think that that's perfect every
Every hour, children's miracle network hospitals
treat 675 kids in the ER.
92 kids for cancer, 39 kids for diabetes
39 babies in the NICU and 97 kids for
surgery.
IYSHA: I'm really proud that we can say that
we're Phi Mus that are doing what our
creed says.
To lend to those less fortunate a
helping hand, and
I see it all across the country all
chapters
finding different ways to raise money,
finding different ways to go
and volunteer and not not just raise
money because it is about interacting
with the kids
and actually doing something.
I love meeting other Phi Mu sisters from other
chapters who are super passionate about
children's miracle network as well, because it's something that
definitely unites us... not only
our bond and our ritual that we share
but just another piece of the puzzle
that says
"yeah i'm really excited about helping
these kids and helping their families
and you are too"
and we might support different hospitals
but we're all united in the same cause.
OLIVIA: They could just spend their Saturday
afternoon just hanging out with friends
and going shopping or whatever they like,
but no they come here they do
fundraising events for hospitals.
They help kids like me out and they just
do whatever they can to make sure those
kids
have the donations that they need and
that's very important. I would like to be
in the Phi Mu with sorority too like that
and
raise all that money.. so yeah!
TERIANNE: The money that we raise whether it's through
a Phi Mu event or from a dance
marathon--  It's going straight to the
families. It's going straight to the kids.
IYISHA: The children need everything that they
can to live a normal life so
whether that's the medical treatment or
the machines
the games that they play... all of that
money goes to something and it's
something that they need.
Since 1986 Phi Mu has raised over 16
million dollars for children's miracle
network hospitals.
Last year alone Phi Mu raised over 2
million dollars for children's miracle
network hospitals.
Because we have over 170 hospitals
nationwide
it's really easy for Phi Mus to be able
to see the impact that
their money is going to. It's very easy
for them to meet families that
are being impacted by the fundraising
that they're doing as well, and
that's just the greatest feeling in the
world. We get to go to these hospitals
and see the kids
and make an impact directly in our
community. It connects you to your
greater community where you spend all of
your time
and you can say wow i love being here i
love spending my time here when i'm in
college and
it's great that i get to truly make a
difference where I am.
i'm just really proud of Phi Mu for how
much they put into
raising money for children's miracle
network hospitals and
the fact that they push so hard to do
that
means the world to me because it makes
something that feels so big
hit a little closer to home.  Children's
miracle network hospitals are always
going to be around and there's always
going to be that
need and us as Phi Mus are always
going to be there
to help them and to help that cause and
i think that that's really important.
OLIVIA:Thank you so much for all those
donations they've really helped my local
children's hospitals and without all of
your donations from Phi Mu
kids like me would not be here today so,
thank you.
HEATHER: Hi i'm heather i'm the philanthropy
chair. I had a connection to find you far
before
I came to campus. My mom was a sister at
Florida State University and my aunt at
the university of New Hampshire.
I grew up with their fun memories and
loving tales of lifelong sisterhood
and I didn't fully understand what they
meant until i became a sister here at
Gamma Zeta,
It was here that I found the true
meanings of love, honor, and truth.
SYDNEY:Hi everyone my name is Sydney and i'm a current junior some of my favorite
things about Phi Mu are the leadership
opportunities and the friends that you
make
I have had a couple leadership
opportunities that i have grown so much
as a person
and a leader. I have learned to stay
organized and time management.
As best friends go I have made several
best friends in Phi Mu that I know I
will have for life they always have my
back and they always
support me through everything.
CHLOE: Hi i'm Chloe MARY: And i'm mary
CHLOE: And we're best friends MARY: since seventh
grade CHLOE: to senior year in college. MARY: 
and we didn't even plan on going to the
same school CHLOE: or
going and joining the same sorority MARY: but
recruitment brought us even closer
together CHLOE: and now we're sisters for life
LIZ: To me, sisterhood means unconditional love and
support. It means accepting each other
for our flaws and loving each other
harder because of them.
Sisterhood means knowing someone will
always have your back because our
sisters are our biggest support systems.
Sisterhood means contagious laughter and
lots of dinner dates.
Our sisterhood is what keeps me
motivated.
SARAH: Hi i currently serve as Phi
mu's treasurer.
Last year i got the chance to attend
PMOA also known as Phi Mu's officer
academy.
This is a weekend-long conference held
by our headquarters
that every chapter of Phi Mu across
the country sends the same
six executive council positions to learn
more about their roles.
Last year we got to go to Disney Springs
for our officer academy
and we got to meet sisters from every
chapter across the country
that do our same roles. It was really
cool to see what other chapters were
doing across the country
and use these ideas back in High Point.
SAVANNAH: Hey guys, my name is Savannah. I am a
sophomore here at High Point and a
little bit about me
is that I am a spring C.O.B. I didn't rush
in the fall of my freshman year
but i'm very thankful that I rushed
during the spring because over
quarantine I got to talk to sisters
and become really close with sisters
that I never really talked to during my
phi experience. And i'm very thankful for
Phi Mu because of the sisterhood it's
given me and all the great friends that
i have made
and through all of the things that i've
gotten to experience through
Phi Mu and i hope recruitment goes
well for y'all thank you!
TAYLOR: Hi my name is Taylor and I was chosen to
participate in the Phi Mu leadership
institute.
My sisters chose me to participate in
this leadership institute because they
saw me as having great potential
as a leader not only in our sorority but
in the future.
The leadership themes are honor,
confidence, and courage.
Broken down these themes want to teach
us to honor ourselves,
be confident in ourselves and abilities,
and have the courage to be an agent of
change.
I went Phi Mu because I remember
going through recruitment two years ago.
Phi Mu was the last house I went to and I
was so nervous and also just so tired
from the end of the day. The second I walked
in I just felt
so comfortable and the first person I
talked to
ended up actually being my new member
director.
And instantly it's kind of like I just
shared every fact about myself. I felt so
at ease talking to her.
I felt like I could tell her everything
about my life and I just felt like we
could be friends in the future.
She just made me feel so comfortable
to talk to
and instantly I just felt like that was
my home.
BELLA: Hello ladies, my name is Bella and i'm
the membership director for Phi Mu.
I hope that you enjoyed the video and
were able to get a small glance into our
sisterhood.
I hope that you were able to see the
love that we have for each other and
the commitment we have to holding one
another accountable.
Phi Mu is where your sisters will see both
the good and bad sides of you and still
love you no matter what.
The women in this chapter have the
ability to hold strong to what they
believe in
and redefine what it means to be a
sorority woman. We are each others biggest
fans,
motivators, best friends, and home away
from home.
Sisterhood looks different to many
people. For us sisterhood is: love that
can't be broken,
honor that can't be shaken, and a truth
that binds us all together.
Phi Mu is a place to let down your
barriers and be who you want to be.
It is a place to express yourself and
reveal your deepest passions.
It is more than a sisterhood.. We are family!
