College Sophomore Turns to Sorority for Crohn's Support

But Rhiannon's sorority support her as much as she supports them. That is why whenever she has to receive chemotherapy, she proudly sports her Phi Mu Letters as a source of comfort. She explains how much this helps her, "I know when I wear those letters I have 160 smiling faces back in Lincoln cheering me on and helping me stay strong. Those letters give me comfort. They help me a lot because I know what being a Phi Mu means. It means giving back, staying strong, being a leader in your community, and even during the hardest times in your life, being a Phi Mu means you can get back on your feet and you can keep going."

Now, Rhiannon has proven she is a fighter because she was given that week to live, two weeks before she started her freshman year of high school, but now she is a sophomore at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln six years later.
