How do I join Phi Mu Alpha?

If you are interested in membership, you are encouraged to attend as many of our mixer events as possible. Mixer events will be announced soon after school starts. After the last mixer event, the chapter will vote on all prospective members. Those who receive at least 3/4 affirmative from the chapter will be offered a bid (invitation to pledge). Those who receive bids will receive more information on the pledge period, which begins in January.
