College is a time to explore who you are, what matters to you, and what value you want to bring to the world! And joining a sorority is about finding your people – the women who will cheer you on and challenge you along the way. Your future sisters will be there to support you as you learn all that you’re capable of, and through the sorority experience you’ll tap into your potential through exploring leadership, giving back to the community, and serving others.
- Sorority is… coming together to make a difference! Sororities bring incredible women together and provide outlets and support for us to do real good in our community. We believe there is no group at Towson University that has the power to impact our world like sororities!
- Sorority is… fun! It’s about always having those go-to girls you can sing at the top of your lungs with, late-night study buddies, that sister who is there when you need ice cream (or a hug), and a mentor who inspires you to be the best version of you.
- Sorority is… a deep network and well of opportunities that will help you succeed – beyond what you can imagine today. Your sorority helps you find your niche at [school] through opportunities to connect and lead, and the benefits of the sorority experience are real. Sorority women are three times as likely to have an internship in school and twice as likely to have a job when they graduate.
- Sorority is… a community of support. You’ve heard about our “sisterhood.” Sororities provide a family and a home away from home. Your sisters will be there for you – for celebrating your wins, for tough conversations, and for when you need a shoulder to lean on. Sisterhood is deeper than friendship and lasts far beyond the few years we’re in college.
Joining Phi Theta
- Joining a sorority can be an important part of the collegiate experience – it can help you navigate these exciting and sometimes challenging times. Regardless of the campus, Phi Mu provides a place you can call home – a place where you belong and are surrounded by women who help you become your best self. College is a time to explore what you bring to the world, your values, and who you are! Finding a sisterhood that supports you through your college experience and then your lifetime is so important! How Do You Join Phi Mu?There are two ways to participate in recruitment to join a sorority. You may already be familiar with primary recruitment as the most common way to join a sorority. The other way to be extended a bid from a sorority is through a process called continuous open bidding (COB). At Towson University, formal recruitment is stretched out through two weekends in February. During the winter, Panhellenic will provide a link to sign up for Formal Recruitment. Formal Recruitment will allow you to meet every chapter on campus and narrow down your options. The final day of recruitment is Bid Day, which is when you get to run home to your new sorority! Informal recruitment, also referred to as Continuous Open Bidding (COB) is another great option for recruitment. This process can help alleviate some of the stress associated with formal recruitment. COB is an option when there are spots available for PNM’s to join a sorority after their freshman year. If you are interested in joining Phi Mu during the COB process, reach out through our Instagram (@phimutowson)!
