Got a dozen long-stem roses, a box of crème-filled chocolates or even a life-sized stuffed pink dog? Sure, girls love flowers and chocolate, but the Phi Mu Alpha fraternity is offering romantics a more creative way to woo their sweetheart for Valentines Day.

Phi Mu Alpha, the men's social music fraternity, is once again providing their annual Singing Valentines. On Feb. 14 the men's social music fraternity will show up and sing your sweetie a song accompanied by roses. Packages range from $10 to $40 depending on the number of songs and roses.

"What girl would not want someone to sing for them? And this is singing and roses," fraternity member Aaron Waryk said.

The fraternity is offering its crooning services not only to students, but to any member of the community, and will travel anywhere within Bowling Green city limits.

Fraternity member Andy Kuzas said all of the serenades have been well received in the past, serious or not.

"Some of them start to cry, they get all red in the face," Kuzas said. "But then we have those ones that sell them as practical jokes."

Profits from the fundraiser go into Phi Mu Alpha's general fund to support music and are also used towards the fraternity's annual scholarship, awarded to a student in the College of Musical Arts who displays excellence in their academics.

Phi Mu Alpha President David Stevens said the singing grams are not limited only to Valentine's Day, but are available year-round.

Anybody interested in securing a song for their hunny's heart should stop by the Union by Thursday between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. or should contact the singing fraternity at PhiMuAlphaSerenades@gmail.com or 440-821-8179.
