Steadfast in Sisterhood
For sisters, Phi Mu can mean many different things. To a new member, joining Phi Mu is having sisters to call day or night and friends you can turn to for anything. It’s having a home away from home. It’s becoming the best version of yourself with sisters cheering you on through some of the most formative years of your life. It’s about traditions and values – but more than that, it’s about sharing a bond with women who want the best for you and see the best in you.
Our Phi Mu Creed calls our members to uphold our values of love, honor and truth by:
- Loving our sisters for who they are and help them grow into the best versions of themselves. Love means that we support each other, care for one another, and are guided by actions that encourage, inspire, and build each other up.
- Honoring our commitments to our sisterhood and to each other. We honor the hearts of our members, and celebrate their different backgrounds, pasts and futures. Honor means that we strive to achieve our best and fight for what we believe in to make the world a better place.
- Striving to create a sisterhood where each sister can live as the truest version of herself. To be truthful is to be honest and authentic; it is doing the right thing, even when it isn’t the easy or popular choice.
If this sounds like something you want to experience, we hope you will seek out additional opportunities to meet Phi Mu at American University!
Gamma Delta's Sisterhood
In Phi Mu, sisterhood means building authentic, lasting connections that go beyond shared experiences. It’s about showing up for one another—in the everyday moments and during life’s bigger challenges. Through collaboration, support, and genuine care, we create a space where each member feels valued and empowered. Our sisterhood is a foundation for personal growth, confidence, and lifelong friendship.Each semester, we have various organized events that strengthen the bond between our sisters. We look for opportunities to connect outside of formal gatherings like chapter meetings. Each semester, we have a sisterhood retreat. This retreat is our largest internal event of the semester, where sisters come together to engage in activities and build connections. This semester, our retreat is an all inclusive charm bar, where sisters can make necklaces and jewelry that show off their personality. Other events we have had include coffee dates at campus coffee shops, trips to DC museums, movie nights, yoga, and more!
