Sisterhood Retreat
Paint the Town Pink:
For our spring sisterhood retreat, we spent the
day creating a flower painting from a slideshow
tutortial. We took breaks to play fun games and
had meaningful conversations with our sisters.
“Paint the Town Pink” was a relaxing event to
catch up with each other and strengthen our
bond in Phi Mu. “At the end of the day, we
looked at our paintings and realized no two
were the same,” said Kelsey Thomas.
“This reminded me of a past Big/Lil theme
‘Individually Unique, Together Complete.’ I
was so happy to be part of this and I can’t wait
to grow more with my sisters this spring!”

Spring Bid Day:
We Picked the Phinest!
We appreciate our Phi trainer,
Dylan Dean and her assistants,
Hannah Hunter and Brietta
Ammons for their hard work!
Epsilon Nu welcomed seven new Phis to
the chapter this month with a “We picked
the Phinest” Bid Day event. The evening
was complete with bouquets, gardening
decor and flower crowns! We are excited to
welcome them into our strong bond while
they begin to learn the meaning, spirit and
reality of Phi Mu.

Membership Retreat
We were honored to have our Internal and
External Membership Chairs, McKenna
Young and Kelli Hadrava represent Epsilon
Nu at National Headquarters this month for
the Phi Mu Membership Retreat. They spent
the weekend learning about what it takes to
lead our chapter through a successful
recruitment and were able to meet and learn
from some of the largest Phi Mu chapters in
the U.S. We are blessed to have these
talented women on our recruitment team
and we can’t wait to see what skills they
bring to Formal Fall Recruitment!
Phi Mu Valentines
Epsilon Nu participated in a Phi Mu collegian
Valentine card exchange. We made around 90
personalized valentines and sent them to
another Phi Mu chapter. We are patiently
waiting to see the valentines we get in return
and are excited to strengthen inter-collegiate
relations!
We had a blast making the cards with lion love!
Zumba!
This month, we participated in our fitness chapter
development by exercising together in the Farm
House Gym. We had a blast dancing to fun songs
while growing closer to one another and acting
silly through our ability….and inability to dance!
