The Lion & The Ladybug 2 Phi Mu Proud Alpha Delta has had an outstanding year thus far, and we cannot wait to see what else is in store for our Chapter! O ur members have excelled across many areas. We held an outstanding 3.3 overall GPA, exceeding the Panhellenic requirement of 2.7 and placing ninth among all 34 chapters in the College Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, and National Panhellenic Council. During the spring semester, we conducted our annual philanthropy event, Bonnamu, and raised record- breaking numbers. Overall, Alpha Delta raised $60,000 for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in the spring, and we are so proud of our philanthropy chairman, Jessica Voge '23, for her hard work and dedication to CMNH! We are also proud of each of our members for their involvement within and outside of Phi Mu. Alpha Delta members are devoted to improving the Panhellenic community, and the Chapter had 18 members serve as recruitment counselors, two as head recruitment counselors, and three as members of the standards board. Additionally, four members serve as orientation leaders this year, and nine members are student ambassadors. Riley Littleton '22 served on both the executive and legislative branches of our ASB. Catherine McCall '22 and Jeanette Kiss '23 are part of the RebelThon Board of Directors, a campus organization that also works to benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Lastly, we want to highlight our Chapter for this season of formal recruitment. Ole Miss had over 2,400 registered potential new members, and Phi Mu welcomed 206! We are proud of our recruitment team for all their hard work and are excited to welcome our new members into the bond.
