Phi Mu Alpha’s singing Valentine fundraiser returns in-person, delights students

By Alex Terr - February 15, 2022

While many people say that the best way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, this fraternity believes it is through the diaphragm.

Phi Mu Alpha returned last Thursday to serenade students in classes through their singing Valentine fundraiser. Over the last three days, fraternity brothers entered classrooms surprising the class with a love song.

“This is definitely the event we do that receives the most praise,” said Milan Pasic, the Fraternity Education Officer of Phi Mu Alpha. “I love the look on peoples’ faces while we’re doing it.”

Last year, the fraternity was only able to send virtual singing valentines due to pandemic protocols. This year the fraternity sold out of Valentine’s Day grams for each day.

“It’s so much better to be in person,” said Alex Jashinski, a senior from Kansas City, Kan. majoring in instrumental performance. “We are definitely able to raise more money.”

Over 152 singing valentines were purchased and have been sent between Feb. 11 and Feb. 14. Phi Mu Alpha raised over $1,000 in total, spreading love all over campus during this extended romantic holiday.
