First things first-

 I.love.this.job.

 It's amazing. The other consultants are incredible and hilarious. My bosses are the best. (Even if one of them used to intimidate Megan a lot...) I cannot believe that I get to work for such a wonderful organization.

Second, if I don't want my posts to be ridiculously long I am going to need to post more than once a week. I will try--promise. For the past week we have been learning everything about membership, recruitment workshop ideas, the Phi program, and I could go on and on about all the great Phi Mu related things I've learned. In a nutshell, I have learned so much in a week and I have more to learn, but I am loving every minute of it.

The Megan Oilar Pose

We've bonded over 6AM gym sessions at the Dolce. Perfected the Megan Oilar picture pose during the consultant photo shoot. Drank more Diet Coke than even I would care to admit. Learned to do the Tomahawk at a Braves game. All this, with a ton of Phi Mu knowledge as well--don't forget that.

Every Phi Mu chapter across the country should be getting a visit from one of these 10 AMAZING consultants in the next academic year. You are going to be lucky  to have whoever touches down at the nearest airport to your college campus and comes to spread a little more Phi Mu love.

Here's what everyone seems to want to know- my first little travel schedule. I am so excited to start visits for recruitment workshops and then during formal recruitment. Less than one week and I leave Peachtree City and HQ for Texas!

I will try to add photos soon,  but that means I should probably start taking more. I promise to take more photos on the one consultant phone that isn't an I-phone. (Get with it Sprint please)

Ready for Takeoff

Finally, finally, finally it’s time to leave for Peachtree City and start the job I’ve been waiting nearly six months for! Could this girl be more excited? Probably not. I talk about this job on the daily, with anyone who will listen or pretend to listen. 

 Phi Mu Headquarters

What in the world will I be doing? Here's the answer from phimu.org -

Phi Mu chapter consultants serve as liaisons between collegiate chapters and colonies and National Headquarters. This year, ten enthusiastic chapter consultants are bringing support, problem-solving skills and creativity to chapters across the country. Each consultant works directly with chapter members, officers and advisers and will provide feedback on chapter operations, identify areas of potential improvement and address specific situations as they arise.

In my own words in one run-on thought: I have the opportunity of a lifetime to travel across the country inspiring/encouraging, teaching & helping Phi Mu sisters. As much as they are probably expecting me to teach and assist them, I know these chapters are going to teach me so much as well about myself and greater appreciation and love for Phi Mu. Isn't it great how that works out? This job is so much more than I can type out at 1:30 AM...12 hours before takeoff.

To put it simply, I cannot wait to travel Phi Mu America and to see my Consultant sisters tomorrow (or really today). But, I'm pretty sure everyone in my life has known that since February.

I'll be back for you soon Louisville. For now though, I'm ready for the Peach State and wherever this job takes me after training.
