Mu Phi Epsilon Song
The happy girls of many a Mu Phi band Are scattered far and wide o'er all the land, From Atlantic to Pacific's golden shore, We meet them, greet them, love them more and more. They sing this song, with music of the lyre,And every heart with Joy and Youth on fire:
  Refrain:
      Our duty see—      With love obey       And honor keep       Upon our way,       So that the world       May better be       For the Mu Phi        Sorority.
The sign and symbol of our unity Of finest gold is wrought for you and me, The royal purple of the amethyst,Betokens the temptations we resist,The pure white pearls—may they the emblems be Of motive, love and life of this Sorority.
  Refrain:
With bonds of love may hearts united be,Each feel for each the tenderest sympathy,And strive to help each other in the fight Where oft 'tis hard to keep our honor bright. May cheer and blessing on each one attend Till we have done our duty to the end.
