Morgan Liber

HEY GUYS!



Hey Guys! I'm Morgan Liber, one of the multiple new Phi pledges! I am a freshman currently majoring in Sport Studies and plan on minoring in marketing. Im from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, that's in the Cleveland area so I am definitely a Indians fan! (The baseball team!). I am beyond excited to meet all of my new sisters and bond with all of you! 
Lets see... what should you all know about me...
I played sports my entire life; Soccer, Softball, and Snowboarding have been my biggies, but I also played volleyball, swimming, basketball, tennis, etc. As i got older I only played soccer and softball all year round. I actually almost played soccer in college, here at Miami, or at JMU, or Hobart and William Smith College on a scholarship, but turned it down so that I had the opportunity to truly experience college. I actually am now on the rowing team here at  Miami, totally random I know! 
I love my family, I have an older brother that's a junior here at Miami, two younger sisters, and two dogs that my parents act like are my siblings too, Tucker and Madison, ones a Lab and the other is a mix pomeranian shih tzu. He's not a dog, he looks like a little teddy bear and I love him, so do my parents, possibly more then me. 
So as you can see I am very athletic, but i am also a total girly girl! I love to go shopping,  watch movies, and go out. I also LOVE to cook and bake! My signature is a mint chocolate cupcake and chocolate cake balls!
I have a few t.v shows that I'm sorta obsessed with: Greys Anatomy,Gossip Girl, The Bachelor, Castle, Chuck, and the new show Revenge.
 I love to dance like nobodys watching, even though I am probably one of THE worst dancers ever! Same thing goes for singing, I'm terrible, but i love to sing! So if anyone wants to bake, go to the mall, go to Zumba at the rec, start up a dance party or start a pick up sports game I'm down for anything! I am so excited to become apart of PHI MU, GETTING A BIG SISTER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!, and spending the next four years with you lovely ladies!

Allie Wernsing


Hi Guys! I'm Allie and i'm a psych major from Summit, New Jersey. I've only pumped gas 3 times in my life (it's illegal in NJ) and I have a picture of each time i've done it!  I'm ridiculous, I love going out and having a good time. I'm a god awful dancer and an even worse singer (kicked out of chorus wuddupp) but that doesn't stop me from doing both in public way too often.  I love tv shows like How I Met Your Mother (unhealthy obsession), Big Bang Theory, Jersey Shore, SNL, and lots of others.  I always thought Vampire Diaries and shows like that were ridiculous but lately I notice when my roommate puts one on I stay in the room and watch.....


ANYWAY I just really like to try new things whether its food, traveling, absolutely anything.  I can be a little competitive, I played volleyball in high school, and i'm a DIE HARD NY Giants fan. Yes, i'm excited for the Superbowl and yes, I act like a man when i watch so please don't judge me...


So as you can see I'm super talkative so I should probably stop typing now but if you ever want to hang out or go get food i'm ALWAYS down! Text me anytime 908-370-9365  Can't wait to meet all of you!!!
