A Letter From the Recruitment Chair

Hey ladies!

First of all, welcome to the Samford community! Congratulations on becoming a bulldog! I am so excited for you as you begin your next chapter here! Just two years ago, I was in your shoes, preparing to leave behind the comfortability of the known and step into new adventures. Although I always longed for new opportunity, it was very nerve-wracking knowing a season of sudden change was upon me. My first few weeks at Samford were really fast paced and I honestly have a hard time remembering all the little details, so if you are reading this I encourage you to pause and enjoy every second! Introduce yourself to new people in your classes, ask someone to have a meal with you, have a study date with someone who is in your class! Everyone is looking to make new friends, and don’t let yourself think that everyone else has it all figured out (because they probably don’t)! I was so excited to go through recruitment, and I found my home in Phi Mu.

Since joining Phi Mu, I have been encouraged, supported, and poured into in more ways than I  could’ve imagined. The women of this chapter have given me space to grow, mature, and lead, teaching me skills that will reach beyond my years in college. Phi Mu has taught me to serve wholeheartedly, love fully, live selflessly, and strive for excellence in the slightest of details. My favorite thing about Phi Mu is its consistent desire to honor Christ. This value causes each woman of our fraternity to strive for a better version of themselves, creating better friendship, service, and community within our chapter. We are so excited to meet you this fall and cannot wait to get to know you. Until then, rest in the season The Lord has you in. Enjoy your summer, family, friends, and just be where your feet are planted. Trust that The Lord has intended prosperity for you in this moment. We are thinking of and praying for each of you. We are honored to get to help you find your “home away from home” here at Samford, whether in Phi Mu or elsewhere, we care for you regardless!

All the Best,

Madeline Maguire
