JENNA CODNER
MARKET PRESIDENT
Building a business comes natural for Jenna whose parents built a global empire out of their home garage. The everyday lessons she learned growing up has made her vastly wise beyond her years. She has jumped right in to manage all of our sorority and fraternity relationships. She has forged the path forward as we seek to engage Greek partner organizations across the southeast. Jenna graduated from Auburn with a degree in Public Relations with a minor in business and is the definition of a people person - she truly has never met a stranger.

Shelly is referred to by the Chptr Team as “the backbone of Chptr” - and for good reason! She serves as the Vice President of Operations and oversees technology training, support and other behind the scenes tasks. Shelly graduated from Auburn in 2011 and now works as a sorority financial advisor so she understands the ins and outs of both sorority and advisor needs. Shelly is always the first to offer to help whether it's for the Chptr team or the Greek organizations we serve - we could not live without Shelly!
