Countdown to Convention!

In just a few months, we’ll be feeling the sun on our face at the 2018 Phi Mu National Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada! If you’ve attended Convention in the past, you know what a special experience it can be for Phi Mu sisters. It’s a chance to reconnect, celebrate our past and share enthusiasm and energy for the future of our sisterhood. For Phi Mu Foundation, it’s also a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our philanthropic work for the biennium and honor our loyal donors.

If you’re planning to join us in Las Vegas on July 3-8, 2018, here are a few things to consider as we get closer:

  • Check your gift history. You may be close to the next giving level and eligible for recognition during the Phi Mu Foundation Business Session at Convention! To receive a gift summary by email, contact Stewardship and Development Coordinator Mary Askew.

 

  • Think about donating an item or two to the Phi Mu Foundation Sisterhood Auction. Every biennium, we call upon sisters, friends, and collegiate and alumnae chapters to donate items to be auctioned off during the Convention week to benefit the Fraternity’s growing needs and provide opportunities that enrich the lives of our sisters. Last Convention, we featured everything from a French barge cruise and a stay in the heart of New Orleans, to jewelry, makeup, designer sunglasses and more! Contact Stewardship and Development Coordinator Mary Askew for more information.

 

 

To get you ready for the trip, take a ‘virtual’ stroll down memory lane through our Phi Mu Heritage Museum and read more about beloved favors from Conventions past. The Heritage Museum – managed by the Phi Mu Foundation Historic Preservation Committee – houses these and thousands more artifacts and archives from our 166 year history.

Get #insPHIred This Holiday Season!

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are already quickly approaching! This time of year seems to always spark something inside of us…something that wills us to share with those around us just how much they mean to us…and to give thanks for how they’ve impacted our lives. Throughout the month of November, we’ll be promoting a social media campaign called #insPHIred…and we need your help!

As part of the #insPHIred campaign, we’ll feature inspiring stories every Tuesday from our social media accounts, and ask that our followers also share on social media what or who in Phi Mu inspires them the most throughout the week. Maybe it’s a sister who has helped you through a difficult time, has impacted your life in some way, or maybe you’re inspired by the chapter you’re working with and how far they’ve come. We want to invite you to join us in sharing your #insPHIred story (or stories!) throughout the month of November, to help this campaign touch Phi Mus near and far. Please use photos or videos to help tell your story, and tag us @PhiMuFoundation so that we can retweet, regram and share!

The campaign will culminate with a call to action from Phi Mu Foundation on Giving Tuesday on December 1, to honor our sisterhood and the women who have #insPHIred you with a $10 honor gift in their name to Phi Mu Foundation. We will send a special, limited edition #insPHIred digital greeting to each sister who is honored as part of the campaign. But you don’t have to wait for Giving Tuesday to make an #insPHIred gift! Click here to give today in honor of the Phi Mu who has #insPHIred you.

With your help, we could reach thousands of women with the #insPHIred campaign and remind them why our bond is so unique! Let’s spread some rose and white cheer together this holiday season!
