PNMS, hear from our president, Ryan Kruger, for this week’s #MEETEXECMONDAY as she reflects on the impact Phi Mu has made on her college experience.

“Hello PNMs!

As I begin my last year here on campus, the line that keeps running through my head is from Landslide, “Well I’ve been afraid of changing, cause I’ve built my life around you.” Without even meaning to, I built my life around this place, Phi Mu. 

In Phi Mu, I stumbled into a home full of women who are role models, best friends, listeners, and leaders. Here, I lose track of time, I giggle with my friends for hours on end, I can get lost talking about the meaning of life or my future or anything in between, knowing that these women will be there for me through it all. 

Every year of college so far, some of my best friends made in this chapter have graduated, and every year I have been scared that I would be losing these people. And yet, every year, I have made new friendships while keeping deeply connected with those who now were in new seasons. In each of these, Phi Mu has remained a touchpoint for both me and for those who have already came and gone. As I try to figure out how to build my life around something else after graduating, women who were in this chapter have led the way, calling me for hours on end about law schools and jobs and which cities to move to. Every day here is a new adventure, and Phi Mu permeates my life in new, more beautiful ways as I grow through my time here. 

All this to say, potential new members, I had no idea how deeply and meaningfully recruitment would change my life. Every single opportunity I have found on and off campus were the direct result of Phi Mu, whether through someone I knew or someone who read over my application or who let me know about the opportunity. Find a place worth building your life around, authentically, meaningfully, and intentionally, and make it such a home that imagining your life without it is impossible, because if you’ve found the right place, you’ll never have to. 

Love in Our Bond forever, 
Ryan Kruger
