Due to an outstanding Fall 2011 semester, Mu Chi has been recognized by the Fraternity & Sorority Life Office as a 5 Star Chapter!  This means the chapter has exceeded all standards and expectations that are part of the 4 Pillars of Excellence.  In addition to this incredible achievement, the FSL Excellence Awards recently took place this past weekend, and Mu Chi was proud to be recognized for Outstanding Philanthropy:  FIJI/ASA’s Miles for Medals!  For the second year in a row, Miles for Medals has been deemed the best philanthropic event on campus.  Other awards include Outstanding New Member in a Fraternity – brother Jake Ronza, and the Chapter’s “Best of the Best” awarded to brother Nelson Murphy.  Congratulations to this year’s recipients and all the brothers of Mu Chi!  Mighty Proud!

Recently at the FSL Greek leader’s retreat, FIJI and ASA’s Miles for Medals philanthropy was chosen as the top vision out of 35 to better unify, promote, and aggrandize the Greek community as a whole!  A $500 grant was awarded to further develop and establish Miles for Medals as the premier philanthropic cause of JMU Greek Life – all to benefit Special Olympics Virginia.  Congratulations to the winning group!
