JENNA CODNER
REGIONAL MANAGER
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.
