Executive Board
Jaz Leonard - President
Chapter Initiated: Zeta Rho (Texas A&M University)
Why Gamma Phi?: Two reasons really, at A&M, Gamma Phi was a recently chartered chapter and the opportunity to be part of creating the foundation of a chapter was something that I really didn't want to pass up. Additionally, I really liked that our philanthropy was very hands-on. I felt like the other sororities only donated money, but we had an organization where we could volunteer and help on an ongoing basis and I felt that made more of an impact and wanted to be part of it.
Fun Fact: I drove the campus buses while I was in college

Brittni Wexler - Membership VP
Chapter Initiated: Beta Rho (University of Colorado Boulder)
Why Gamma Phi?: When I went through recruitment, I was overwhelmed by the positivity of the Gamma Phi
house. Everyone seemed to authentically care about not only me, but each other. I also fell in love with the philanthropy’s focus of building up strong girls in the community. As a therapist, this really resonated with my personal values.
Fun Fact: I traveled to Switzerland with one of my sorority sisters and we went on a cow trekking excursion where we rode on the back of cows through a field in the middle of nowhere. Such a strange and incredible experience.

I also do a weekly Zoom call with Omega sisters who were in my recruitment class over 50 years ago.
