Every person has some stereotype about Greek Life that they feel like defines the whole system. Sadly, philanthropy is something that most people over look. I'm amazed the things that I over hear on campus and even more amazed at the fact that none of my friends from home wanted to attend Phi Mu's philanthropy benefiting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, specifically Riley Children's Hospital, because they thought it was just for show.
Riley's is a very important hospital in the state of Indiana and once you're a Riley kid, you're one for life. I'm not a Riley kid, but a few of my close friends have been closely affected by Riley's.
So Saturday, April 18th, Phi Mu hosted Bonnamu, a philanthropic event. Think Bonnaru, Lolla, or Outside Lands on a much smaller scale in a backyard with local artists. Bonnamu featured six music acts along with local grilled cheese food truck that offered a free sandwich with the purchase of a ticket. The total raised has not been released yet, but it's estimated to be somewhere around $7000 raised for Children's Miracle Network!
Check out some of the pictures from today:
So philanthropic, much fun, very sunburnt
