M3 is Phi Mu Foundation’s largest Annual Fund campaign.  During the month of March, collegians and alumnae are asked to give $18.52 in honor of their collegiate chapter and Phi Mu’s three founders, Mary, Mary and Martha.

Rho Chapter at Hanover College celebrated one hundred years of sisterhood in April. In recognition of this historic milestone, the Rho Chapter and the Rho Chapter House Corporation contributed $10,000 to Phi Mu Foundation and designated the gift for the Philomathean Room at the Cannonball House in Macon, GA. This generous gift will help Phi Mu Foundation continue to preserve the history of Phi Mu Fraternity that is housed in the Philomathean Room.

Collegiate and alumnae chapters recognize the importance of giving their time and treasures to Phi Mu’s national philanthropy, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals AND to Phi Mu Foundation. Both organizations…Phi Mu’s helping children and sisters helping sisters…making an impact.

Thank you, Rho Chapter and Rho Chapter House Corporation. Your gift makes a significant difference.

In response to popular demand, Phi Mu Foundation is excited to introduce the newest giving program, Rose & White! Membership in Rose & White is open to all Phi Mu members and requires a commitment of $20 each month, or $240 annually.

For some time, sisters have expressed interest in a new giving program with a lower monthly commitment to allow more sisters an opportunity to give regularly to the Foundation. These donors understand the importance of regular giving and how their contributions positively impact the lives of Phi Mu sisters nationwide. The Foundation continuously strives to offer a variety of giving opportunities that meet the needs of donors and encourages a lifetime of giving back to Phi Mu.

With the addition of Rose & White, Phi Mu Foundation now offers four giving programs for sisters who want to give regularly in support of the Foundation’s mission. Giving programs are a critical component of the Foundation’s ongoing support of Phi Mu and its members.

Join the twenty founding members of Rose & White and choose a giving program that is right for you.
