My name is Anna Blake, and it feels so surreal and such an honor to introduce myself as the 2026 President of Phi Mu, Kappa Gamma Chapter at Troy University. The opportunity to lead and represent this incredible group of women is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I feel so blessed and thankful to the Lord for placing me in this chapter and surrounding me with women who continually inspire me, challenge me, and fill my life with so much joy.

Coming into college, I prayed for growth in my relationship with God, in my relationships with others, and in myself. Through Phi Mu, the Lord has answered those prayers in ways I never expected. This chapter has shaped me, strengthened me, and taught me how to love more like Jesus. I have truly been blessed beyond measure by this sisterhood and the women within it. The women in this chapter are what make Phi Mu so special. They are bold, unique, and full of talent in everything they do. They lead with love, walk in truth, and carry themselves with honor. Each woman brings something different to the table, but together they create a sisterhood that feels genuine, welcoming, and full of life. They show up for one another in big and small ways, and they make this chapter feel like home in the most real sense. I am so thankful to stand beside them not only as their president, but as their sister and friend.

Phi Mu is built on love, honor, and truth, and I see those values lived out daily through the women in this chapter. It is more than just meetings, events, or campus involvement—it is the way these women care for each other, encourage each other, and push each other to grow. There is a quiet strength in this sisterhood that comes from women who genuinely want the best for one another, and that is something I will never take for granted. College is one of the biggest turning points in life. Whether you are coming from near or far, it is filled with change, uncertainty, and new beginnings. It is never easy, but I can confidently say you do not walk through it alone. Phi Mu becomes a place of comfort and belonging, where you find people who take time to know you, support you, and carry you through every season. Before you know it, you have a family beside you cheering for your biggest wins and holding you in your hardest moments.

My prayer is that every woman who walks through our doors feels seen, valued, and deeply loved, just as I have been. Phi Mu holds such a special place in my heart. It is more than just an organization; it is a lifelong sisterhood and a true gift from the Lord. It is my greatest hope as president to continue building a chapter rooted in love, truth, and purpose that reflects His goodness in everything we do.
