ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

Phi Mu is thrilled to invite all alumni to participate in our Oral History Project.

We welcome you to share your unique experiences and personal connections from your time at Phi Mu.

This project provides alumni with an opportunity to tell their Phi Mu story in their own words. These memories and reflections will be preserved in a published collection that celebrates our alma mater and honors its enduring legacy.

This initiative is made possible through a partnership between the Phi Mu Alumni Engagement Office and Publishing Concepts (PCI). In addition to collecting alumni stories, PCI will assist the Alumni Engagement Office with updating alumni biographical and contact information. This helps ensure we maintain accurate records and continue building strong connections with Phi Mu alumni across the nation and around the world.

I was contacted by a company saying they are working with Phi Mu and asking to verify my information. Is this a legitimate project endorsed by the College?

Phi Mu has partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce an Oral History Publication for Phi Mu.

This project gives alumni the opportunity to share personal stories from their time at Phi Mu and reflect on how the institution helped shape their lives beyond graduation. While we have you on the phone, we will also confirm that your contact information is up to date.

PCI is a family-owned company based in Dallas, Texas, with more than 100 years of experience publishing alumni directories and oral history projects for colleges and universities, fraternities and sororities, and military organizations nationwide.
