"Phi Mu Fraternity and Phi Mu Foundation partner to provide all Phi Mu sisters with a rewarding and fulfilling Phi Mu experience - an experience that upholds Phi Mu's values and purpose." The sisters of the Phi Gamma Chapter have highly benefited from the many academic and leadership opportunities made possible by the Phi Mu Foundation. In order to give back, we created this cookbook, all the proceeds from which will be donated to the Foundation. We chose to create a cookbook to represent the cultural diversity among our 51 sisters. Our sisters come from over fifteen different countries and speak over seventeen different languages. We celebrate our diversity and wanted to share it with the rest of the world. For generations our families have bonded over meals, and we invite you to be a part of that family as we share these traditions and recipes with you.
