Alpha Delta Pi

"A recent highlight of my Phi Mu experience would be taking 'twins' and becoming a big to my two littles Marisa and Kaylee this spring. The title of a big is someone in the chapter who will encourage you and always support you to be the best version of yourself. Having them by my side pushes me to not only be the best student but the best big sister. Our 'fam' will always cheer each other on and I hope everyone finds that unique and special support system in every sisterhood just as I have found mine."

- Abigal Garza, Alpha Rho

"Joining Phi Mu I had the pleasure of meeting my big, Abi Garza. First meeting her, I instantly knew she was someone I viewed as a mentor. She is very dedicated to the chapter, helpful with anything and everything, prioritizing the chapter second to school. My big is genuine and selfless, always putting others before herself. I am proud and blessed to call Abi Garza my big and I'm so glad Phi Mu introduced me to her.

- Kaylee, Alpha Sigma

"When I first met Phi Mu, I immediately knew I wanted to join an organization filled with such amazing girls. I knew I would make amazing memories being surrounded by joyful, loving people. One of my favorite memories I have made so far is how quickly I became close with my big Abi. She welcomed me with open arms since the beginning. She was very easy to talk to and was very outgoing which helped me come out of my shell. Abi has always been there for me no matter what. I knew since bid day that I wanted her to be my big, my mentor, my best friend, and she has proven to be everything I could've ever imagined and more.

When MaryAnn a t to each other on bid day. I never expected for her to not only become my best friend, but the sister that I never had. MaryAnn is the strongest person that I know. She has defeated cancer twice, and truly is a hero. From the second I saw MaryAnn, I knew we were going to do everything together. Thank you for bringing such joy in my life that I never thought I needed. Even though there are moments when I don't want to hear the truth, I appreciate you always being upfront with me. From our crazy adventures to our deep talks, thank you for always being there for me. I'm excited to see what the future holds for us and create wonderful memories together as the duo that we are. I love you my MaryAnn.

I can still remember that wonderful day we met like it was just yesterday. Not only did I gain a sister that day but the best friend I had always wished for. Anapaulina is the most bubbly and outgoing person you’ll ever know. She has the power to brighten up a room wherever she goes. From the moment I met Ana I just knew we were going to be long life friends. Thank you Anapaulina for being this light in my life that I didn’t know I couldn’t live without. You always encourage me to be more outgoing and to not be afraid to be myself. Your laugh is contagious and I’m so happy to share the crazy moment I get to hear it. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us but I just know it will be amazing with you by my side. I love you my Anapaul !!!
