Two Alpha Mu Sisters Attend Phi Mu UIFI

Junior Shelby Schorsch and Sophomore Ann Nunnelley attended Phi Mu UIFI, a leadership conference that prompts chapter members to challenge existing ideas and brainstorm ways to improve their individual chapters.

According to the Phi Mu website, UIFI consists of "emerging leaders from each chapter participating in facilitated large-group discussions on topics such as ritual, values-based learning, the Greek community and teamwork."

The five-day leadership program at Indiana University prompted the two women to examine themselves as a leader and determine ways to improve our chapter. 


The genius of the program is bringing together women from across the nation, from chapters of all different shapes and sizes, to meet with and learn from each other. Ann thought that the fellowship between the women of her small group, who came from different chapters across the nation, was a valuable part of her experience at UIFI.

Shelby and Ann both agree that this experience was fun as well as rewarding.

"It was AMAZING," said Ann. "The national leadership institute helped us come up with creative goals for how to improve our chapter."

We cannot wait to return in the fall and see how the ideas that Shebly and Ann developed at UIFI affect our chapter!
