Harrisonburg (Va.): Madison College.","Cremins, Ann, \"Disbanded: Phi Mu sorority decides to end university recognition,\" The Breeze, April 16, 1987, vol. 64, no. 51, pg. 3.","The Gamma Theta chapter of Phi Mu was officially installed on October 4, 1959. Members were initiated on January 1, 1960 and the group received its charter as the 82nd chapter of Phi Mu. Prior to that, beginning in the spring of 1958, the organization was a local fraternity, Delta Tau Alpha. Fraternity members resided in Lincoln House beginning in the fall of 1959 through circa 1963. Hoffman Hall opened in 1964 as the Panhellenic Dormitory and housed 164 fraternity members including Phi Mu. Phi Mu took up residence in Eagle Hall in the fall of 1973. Linda Silver of Suffolk, Virginia was a member of the spring 1973 pledge class and was likely the first African American woman to join Phi Mu, Gamma Theta Chapter. The character Pink Panther was the fraternity's unofficial mascot for a time as was a lion. Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity were big brothers to Phi Mu and are also documented in the scrapbooks. The chapter disbanded in 1987 due to a lack of members to occupy the Phi Mu house on Greek Row. The chapter was recolonized in 2010. While a women's organization, Phi Mu is officially designated as a fraternity, and not a sorority. Researchers will find that the two terms are used interchangeably throughout the collection material.","Files containing digitized images of the scrapbooks were securely copied from the USB drives supplied by the donor. The USB drives were subsequently discarded.","The Phi Mu Gamma Theta Chapter Scrapbooks, 1958-1984, comprise 23 scrapbooks created by Phi Mu members that document the activities of the women's fraternity and include photographs with captions and printed ephemera. Each scrapbook is compiled according to either the academic or calendar year and is further arranged by month. Digital scans of the scrapbooks were created by a member of the Phi Mu alumni group prior to Special Collections taking custody of the materials.","The scrapbooks largely comprise captioned photographs of events, activities, members, rushees, general campus views, and student housing. Additional material include newspaper clippings documenting chapter and members news (Phi Mu in the News and engagement, wedding, and birth announcements), printed ephemera, Christmas cards, concert and theater programs, rush week calendars, Panhellenic handbooks (1967-1968, 1968-1969), bid invitation acceptances, and select issues of Phi Mu's monthly newsletter \"The Carnation.\"","The scrapbooks document all aspects of Phi Mu activities including membership, social events and parties, holiday gatherings, service projects and community outreach (Easter basket project, Hike for Hope, car washes, care packages), annual Founder's Day events (held in March), rush and initiation events (\"walking\" ceremonies), activities associated with pledging, senior parties, open house, slumber parties, Panhellenic picnics, banquets, national conventions, summer vacations and trips (Virginia Beach), Greek Week, Greek Sing, Parents Weekend, and Homecoming festivities. Among other local establishments, Phi Mu held off-campus events at Massanetta Springs, Belle Meade, Sheraton, Lloyd's Steak House, Ingelside, and Skatetown.","Photographs capturing incidents of blackface and other racist imagery are scattered throughout the scrapbooks, particularly in the context of rush events and social gatherings (Phi Mu Plantation, Old South, Native American, and Hawaiian luau themed parties). This type of imagery and corresponding descriptive captions are found in the following scrapbooks: 1961-1962, 1962-1963, 1965-1966, 1967-1968, 1968-1969, 1969-1970, 1978, 1979, and 1981 and potentially others.","Some scrapbooks exhibit evidence of adhesive failure where photographs or other pasted-in items are loose or have fallen out and are not extant. In other cases, photographs and pasted-in items appear to have been intentionally removed. Researchers should consult the digital scans of these scrapbooks as they are occasionally more complete than the physical scrapbooks.","The exterior covers of the scrapbooks are decorated variously with felt, miscellaneous cloth, wood, construction paper, terry, corduroy, and velvet/velour with a recurring theme of pink. The most recent scrapbooks are bound in magnetic page photograph albums. The contents of the 1978 scrapbook appear to have been rebound in a modern photo album.","Scrapbooks not represented in the collection are 1959-1960, 1975-1976, and 1980. The last and most recent scrapbook in the collection is 1984. It is unknown if the chapter produced scrapbooks between 1985 and 1987, when it disbanded.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collection Library.

Although rumblings of self-government began with the founding of the school in 1908, it took a fair amount of effort to bring this idea to fruition. The roots of the university's SGA derive from the student Honor Council which began in the 1909-1910 school year. Students involved in the Honor Council began to create an unofficial student government that although unable to act in an official capacity, was instrumental in helping to bring about student support for self-government. By 1914, a small group of students worked together to draft a constitution for the planned student government organization and presented this constitution to the faculty. After completing revisions suggested by the faculty, the constitution was presented and voted on by the entire student body February 25, 1915 and as a result, the Student Association of the State Normal School at Harrisonburg was established. This first iteration of the organization required that the entire student body act as a member. Additionally, the Honor Committee was converted into the first Executive Board. This Executive Board included three officers (president, vice-president, and secretary), and several elected members of each class.","As the school and student population grew so did the organization and it eventually became unrealistic for the entire student body to act as members of the organization. Complications also arose within the organization with the introduction of full-time male students in 1946. At the time, it did not seem appropriate for men and women to govern students of the opposite sex. As a result, the male students decided to create their own self-government in 1950, labeling their organization the Men's Student Government Organization. The female students likewise formally relabeled their existing organization the Women's Student Government Association in 1953 to better distinguish the separation between the two groups; however, they rarely included this additional identifier. While the two groups worked together on many matters through the 50s and 60s, the organizations formally combine in 1970, creating the current manifestation of the Student Government Association.","As of 2015, the SGA at JMU is made up of appointed members on the Executive Staff, Representatives, and At-Large Senators. Elected members include Class Council Senators, College Senators, and Area Residence Senators. The mission: The Student Government Association of James Madison University is an organization dedicated to collaborating with all members of its community to advocate for student opinion, while fostering a proactive, inclusive environment.","After reviewing the material in all accessions, about 2 linear feet of material was removed from one of the 2005 accessions. The material was largely financial forms that contained banking information or social security numbers. All binder and notebook material was removed from the original bindings and transferred into folders. All the pages from each of the scrapbooks were removed and photocopied. Photocopies were also made of the cover and back covers. This was done to help preserve the context of the photographs on the pages in preparation for possible adhesive failure.","Some of the material in this collection can be viewed on Special Collections' Student Government Association Digital Exhibit published on-line in April 2015. https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/specialcollections/collections/show/2","This collection documents the activities of James Madison University's Student Government Association in Harrisonburg, Virginia from 1915-2024. The collection developed from seven different accessions from the Student Government Association received in the 1990s and early 2000s and contains a wide range of material which is organized according to physical type or corresponding to subject. Much of the material in this collection derives from different meetings within the organization including: the Student Council, Student Senate, Execution Board, Senate and Council Committees, and others. A large amount of the collection is administrative material regarding the work of these different internal groups as well as the procedures which govern them. Similarly, these different internal meetings produced a fair amount of the minutes, committee reports, and legislative files found in the collection. In addition to these materials, there are also a large amount of financial files related to the budget of SGA and other on campus organizations. This collection also consists of correspondence to and from different members of the SGA usually regarding issues of student conduct on and off campus. The last major section of the collection contains photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera memorializing different SGA events. Further descriptions of the material can be found in the series descriptions.","Copyright for materials authored or otherwise produced as official business of James Madison University is retained by James Madison University.
