As women of Phi Mu, we are constantly striving to serve others. Phi Mu's interest in philanthropy is expressed in the first line of our creed, "To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand." Phi Mu is the only sorority sponsor of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH). Nationally, Phi Mu raises more than $500,000 a year with a grand total of over $14 million so far. Additionally, members across the nation spend countless hours working to help children across the country. In the 2019-2020 school year, Zeta Gamma raised around $35,000 for the Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha.
Not only does our chapter philanthropies benefit CMNH but so does the campus wide event Dance Marathon. In 2020, Dance Marathon raised over $235,000, and Phi Mu alone raised over $31,000 of that total.

Dance MarathonFor the past five years, Zeta Gamma has shown our philanthropic efforts at Dance Marathon through being the top raising organization on campus. This year our chapter raised over $34,000. The 12 hour time period included a lot of dancing, stories from CMNH families, dance performances, and small competitions to help raise even more money. We are so proud to come together with other organizations on our campus and celebrate the kids that we care so much about.
