National History

  • Faithful Sisters, Since 1852

    Phi Mu was founded in 1852 at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, the first college chartered to grant degrees to women. Originally founded as the Philomathean Society, a literary club, we are the second-oldest sorority in the nation. For nearly 170 years, Phi Mu has provided social opportunities, a support network and personal enrichment resources to the nearly 200,000 women who have joined our sisterhood.
