In 1953 the men of Mu Sigma filed for a charter with Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and on May 15th, 1953 the Zeta Omicron Chapter was founded at Georgia Teachers College. The early Southern College wouldn't allow fraternities on campus but our founders convinced them that Phi Mu Alpha would be the best choice to introduce a Greek way of life to Georgia Southern students. In our early days we were what might be called a "hit" on campus. Our 1955 figure was over 40 active members, a virtually unheard of figure at the time. It wasn't until 1967 that more greek fraternities began to organize on campus, making Phi Mu Alpha by far the oldest Greek organization at what is now Georgia Southern University.
