This isn’t my chapter, but it spoke to me and reminded me of the amazing group of women that I’ve joined, why I joined it, and why I continually strive to make both myself and my chapter better! This is a must see for all greeks.

I read this post by T.J. Sullivan at one of the Formal Business Meetings that I ran during my presidency.  I think its everything it means to be a Phi Mu woman, to be a greek woman, to be a greek.  I could never have known how important my letters would be to me, how much they would frame the rest of my life, and the entirety of who I am.  I will never be able to thank my sisters enough for everything they have given me.  I hope that I have been the sister my fellow Phi Mus have needed.  Phi Mu til the day I die. <3

Went to UMBC tonight.  Such a great night seeing SO many people I LOVE.
Gave 2 of my 4 littles their paddles.

Love them so much. <3

Day 10-  A Picture of your Big-Little Family

I am SO lucky to have the lineage that I do. I love each and every one of them so so so much!  …But there is a lot to say about them!

I am a part of the Phi Mu Princess Lineage.  It is the biggest, and oldest lineage in my chapter.  We are very proud of that.  It is made up of multiple branches… The Fairy Princess Branch, The Pretty Pretty Princess Branch, and The Princess Peter Branch.  My branch is the “Princess Peter Branch”, after an inside joke regarding a certain Harry Potter reference. 

My grand-big Rebecca is such a wonderful, beautiful person.  I love the time I get to spend with her, whether its partying or just catching up.  My Big Sydney, as I’ve mentioned many times, is the most perfect big.  She is one of my best friends and I LOVEEE her.  My Little Marley is the first of my littles, coming through in Spring 10.  She is absolutely, positively, one of my best and closest friends.  I don’t know what I would do without her.  My Little Pooja is the second of my littles, coming through in Spring 11.  She is perfect and I adore that I get to spend so much time with her this summer. I really lucked out in getting the best littles; I can’t imagine either of them as anyone’s little but mine.  They’re mine! My Twin Laura is my big’s second little, and she came through in Spring 11. She is so giving and so caring, but also very sassy… which means she fits in perfectly to my lineage!

I also have an… extended lineage.  I consider two brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha my littles, and so, since they are part of the Super Man Lineage, I call us the “Super-Princess Lineage”. 

My first LXA Little AJ came through in Spring 10, and I adopted him in Fall 2010.  The funny part about AJ & me is that I hated him when I first met him; I thought he was so obnoxious!  I tell him that he makes a horrible first impression, but I’m glad I got to know him better because I love him now!  My second LXA Little Vince came through in Spring 09, and I adopted him in Spring 2011.  Vince and I got to know each other really well last semester, and I consider him one of my closest guy friends.  D’aww :) Vince took his second little in Spring 2011 — My first grand-little ever, Geoff!  There are few words to describe Geoff, lol.  He is hilarious; I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad time being around him.

:) That was a lot… and thats not even covering all of the other wonderful, important people in my lineage.  I seriously have the best lineage ever.  I love you all so much!

Day 09-  Someone who made a huge impact on you during your new member period

My new member period was such a pivotal time in my life.  The people I interacted with then are the foundation of the people I have in my life now as well as the foundation of who I am as a person.  I’m not going to limit it to one, but I will try to be as succinct as possible. :)

Sydney, My Big -If I owe credit to anyone for guiding me into the Phi Mu woman I am today, it has to be to my big.  I cannot count how many hours I spent in her dorm room during the 6 weeks of my phi period.  She made me feel comfortable in the chapter, as well as helped me to feel comfortable about who I was, and helped me out with whatever, whenever I needed her.  <3 :)

Dana, My “Breast” - Dana was the person I was closest friends with during our phi period.  Since we were in the same class, were both commuting, and both have wonderful silly personalities, we found ourselves getting along, hanging out a bunch, and becoming “breast” friends. “Sisterhood is having someone to share your soup with!” <3 <3 <3

Kristi, My Role Model - Kristi was the Vice President during my phi period, and would be elected President at the end of that semester.  She had been, and continues to be, one of the most important role models in my life.  Kristi was a serious leader, a strong person, and incredibley put-together and beautiful.  I looked up to to her as a leader then, went to her for guidance during my presidency, and think myself lucky to call her my friend now. :) <3

“The Gang” - There were no people in the world at this time that I cared more for than my group of high school friends, “The Gang”.  I definitely tried to balance my time between home and Phi Mu.  And it was definitely difficult. Looking back, I know just how much these relationships affected me… and still affect who I am.

Day 06 - Your favorite sisterhood memory.

This is sparked from the fact that Rachael and Marley just for back from PhiMu-Land at UIFI and I am super excited for them.  I know that I have loved every experience I have gotten with meeting other Phi Mu’s, getting to know Phi Mu better, and learning new things to better my chapter. 

• Leadership Academy with Rachael
• National Convention with Wendy, Jennylee, & The MD/DC Clique

I, of course, had other countless memories with my Phi Gamma sisters.  Having planned 3 semesters worth of Sisterhood Events, I really can’t say enough good things about them! ;-)
