Members of the Phi Mu Chapter from Towson University paid The Arc a visit for a fun day. The Phi Mu Fraternity has 120 active Collegiate Chapters, over 175 active Alumnae Chapters, 30 Chapter Associations, and approximately 130,000 living members. Their name means "Les Soeurs Fideles," or, "The Faithful Sisters."
All Phi Mus have different college experiences, but thy all share a bond of... Sisterhood. Their creed is love, honor, and truth. Each Phi Mu who gives time as an active member, officer, or volunteer, contributes to the continued success of Phi Mu Fraternity. Thank you Phi Mu for spending time with The Arc Baltimore!
