Phi Mu Delta Chapter at Stevenson University Hosts Successful 2nd Annual Crab Feast

OWINGS MILLS, MD - On September 7, 2024, the Mu Chi Provisional Chapter of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity at Stevenson University held its 2nd Annual Crab Feast, bringing together students, local community members, and alumni for a day of food, fun, and fraternity.

The event, which took place on the Stevenson University campus, offered attendees all-you-can-eat crabs for $20 a ticket, with the option to add shrimp and corn for an additional $5. Alongside the feast, the brothers organized lawn games such as spikeball and cornhole, creating a festive atmosphere that encouraged socializing and friendly competition.

Mitchell Reda, Vice President of Membership for the Mu Chi Provisional Chapter, explained the event's objectives: "We aimed to promote our chapter on campus, raise funds for our chapter's functions, and provide a fun bonding experience for potential new members and brothers alike. The target audience was Stevenson students and the local community."

The Crab Feast proved to be a resounding success, with attendees enjoying not only the locally caught crabs but also engaging in lively conversations and participating in a cornhole tournament. The event also provided an opportunity for current members to reconnect with Phi Mu Delta alumni, who shared their experiences and the lasting impact of fraternity membership.

Beyond the social aspects, the event served as a valuable learning experience for the brothers of Mu Chi. Reda noted, "The Brothers were able to learn salesmanship, catering, time management, and resourcefulness in order to provide a great experience for all who were involved. Additionally, those who were working in the kitchen to provide fresh corn and warm crabs felt a closer sense of bonding, working as a well-oiled machine and demonstrating the power of brotherhood."

This event showcases Phi Mu Delta's commitment to community engagement, leadership development, and fostering strong bonds among its members. The success of the 2nd Annual Crab Feast sets a promising precedent for future events and underscores the positive impact of Greek life at Stevenson University.
