The Officers and members of Xi Iota Chapter (Zemora Matthews, President) and
Gamma Omicron Zeta Graduate Chapter (Salaine Atkins-Little, President) would
like to congratulate Stephanie Geese on being appointed as the State of NJ Chairman of the Undergraduate Council.
Stephanie is from Union, NJ and is currently a senior at Montclair State University. She is pursuing a B.S. in Business Administration with concentration in Marketing and she currently holds the 1st Vice President position within the chapter.
Gamma Omicron Zeta has continuously encouraged our undergraduates that life
and Zeta is more than their campus. Each month, members of the sponsored undergraduate chapters send a representative(s) to the graduate meeting to get a feel of
what the next level in Zeta would be after they complete their studies.
The undergraduate members get to meet and fellowship prior to and after the
meeting with the graduate members. During the meeting they get to experience
how our meetings are run, how reports are given, and hopefully tips that they can
take back to their respective chapters and implement.
During the October meeting, Brianna McCall from Xi Iota attended. Brianna is currently a junior majoring in
Media Arts and Communications and minoring in Leadership and Development. Originally from Newark,
Brianna is also a Resident Assistant and Crossing Guard on campus and is the Z-HOPE Coordinator for the
chapter.
