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 Northern Kentucky 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 Rho Nu
- Why Should I Join A Sorority?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. We hope you will read more about what makes the Phi Mu experience unique and learn about our sisterhood. A Testimony from Emilia Arias, PC '25:From the minute I walked into Fall recruitment I could feel there was something special about Phi Mu. You could just feel that the entire room was filled with genuine love for their sisterhood. During Sisterhood Round, I fell in love with the story of a sister finding her bridesmaids in the chapter and I knew where I wanted to be. I am so unbelievably blessed to have received a bid from Phi Mu and looking back now, it truly was one of the best decisions of my life. First impressions did not disappoint either; I am accepted, cherished, missed, and most of all loved by my sisters. I’ve never felt more myself than when I’m with my sisters. It’s always a good day when I get to see my sisters and we share so many laughs and moments that will stay with me forever. I wouldn’t take going Phi Mu back for the world. So much LIOB.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.At NKU this is held in the fall semester, usually in early September. The other way to be extended a bid from a sorority is through a process called continuous open bidding (COB). This is an ongoing process to where you can meet up with sisters personally in a more relaxed setting. If you are interested in COB or having any questions feel free to reach out to Rho Nu's Membership Director, Madison Ginn, at nkuphimu.membershipdirector@gmail.com.
