Chapter Philanthropy

We believe in miracles.

The Ladies of Phi Mu are dedicated to raising money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, with the CMNH nearest to us being Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. 

As the only sorority corporate sponsor, Phi Mu nationally is committed to raising over $500,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals every year. The money raised and donated by our collegiate chapters is used locally to support one of the 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide. In total, Phi Mu has contributed over eight million dollars, and countless hours, improving the quality of life for children throughout the country. Here at Purdue University, all of our philanthropy events locally support Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. 

Miracle Mania

Each Fall, Phi Mu hosts Miracle Mania. This is our week-long philanthropy event, with various fundraising opportunities such as: Fall Festival including Pumpkin Smash and Pie a Phi Mu, Brunch, and Milkshakes for Miracles. 

At the end of our Miracle Mania Week, we host our Miracle Mania Dance Competition, one of the largest philanthropy events on Purdue’s campus. In 2022, we had 29 Purdue Greek houses pair together to choreograph and perform a dance with help from their Phi Mu coaches. The competition takes place in Loeb Theatre, and our awesome Riley families always join us to help judge the competition and speak at half time. 

We are so excited to announce that we were able to raise over $25,000 for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at our Fall 2022 Miracle Mania!

Purdue University Dance Marathon

We are also proud to support Purdue University's Dance Marathon, which also supports Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. We've had members serve on the executive board (2022) as well as members that served as committee members! This year we have a few girls serving as committee members, as members of our house team & a member that serves as one of the mint track color captains! We are a major funding partner of PUDM, our letters appear with other major sponsors on the back of all PUDM shirts. This past year we hosted our first tabling event at PUDM where we educated the PUDM community on our events and efforts towards raising money for Riley!

Greek Series of Poker 

In the spring, we host our annual Greek Series of Poker, a poker and euchre competition. We hosted this event in a PMU Ballroom, with our women as dealers. The evening was filled with glamor and prizes, including a Poker Table for the house with the most members at the event, and our players risked it all to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospital and Riley’s Hospital for Children! 

We are excited to announce we raised close to $3,000 at this event, in Spring 2023.
