Founders

FOUNDER     SMR ‘21
I chose to establish Gamma Eta Alpha because I wanted to establish an organization that was built on honesty, comradery, sisterhood, and loyalty with a group of ladies that I have seen uphold the same values that I believe in. My major contributions are my time and talents. I desire that Gamma Eta Alpha would be an organization that exemplifies the standards and ideals for which it was created.

FOUNDER     SMR ‘21

I believe in what Gamma Eta Alpha stands for – Being the Change that WE want to see. The loyalty, respect, honor, commitment, comradery, and devotion to sisterhood. Being a Founder and the Grand Secretary, I am laying the groundwork of how administratively things should be ran in a timely manner, with confidentiality and proactiveness. My hopes are that Gamma Eta Alpha soars to heights dreamt of by its Founders. That the mission, vision, and Monarchs far exceed the expectations of all. That Gamma Eta Alpha will be a lasting organization building upon the strength of the Founders.

I chose to help found Gamma Eta Alpha Military Sorority because I truly believe that we as women are capable of synergizing our energy through service, love, and charity to change this world, our community, and each other. My contribution to Gamma Eta Alpha is to lead, assist, and direct in all areas of the organization to help shape its purpose. To motivate, encourage and challenge every sister to be change agents in this world. My hope for this organization is to develop a sisterhood that women would be proud to be a part of. One that not only impacts them but those that they encounter.

MONARCH LISA COOLEY
FOUNDER     SMR ‘21
I wanted to be a part of an organization where the members are fully vested in the mission and the vision. To be women of action, integrity, good deeds, purpose, of the same heart and mind, seeking and believing God for the establishment of the organization and guidance for the growth and longevity thereof. My major contribution is to give of myself in truth, and in whatever God has purposed for me within the organization.  My hope for Gamma Eta Alpha is that we live out what we have collectively established. To model a true sisterhood for the world to see. To rise above all the ills of the world, our many differences, which tend to separate us because of economic status, mental health issues, and social and cultural differences. My final hope is that we will truly Be the Change we want to see in the world! But it must start with US!!!

I wish to form a bond with like-minded women who are nonjudgmental, strong, educated, and sophisticated, with a heart for giving back and helping other women to be their best selves. I have 20+ years of logistics experience and administrative work. It is my hope that Gamma Eta Alpha will be the go-to military sorority in every avenue that we pursue. We possess 14 extraordinary founders and a strong foundation to grow and move forward.

I chose to be a part of establishing Gamma Eta Alpha for a Sisterhood bond. My major contribution is the talents God has blessed me with to serve others. My hopes for Gamma Eta Alpha are to be recognized as Women not only helping women but also those who have served our nation and need that support to gain back the drive to be an active part of the community.

FOUNDER     SMR ‘21 
I chose to establish Gamma Eta Alpha because I want to see information passed on to the community to empower female veterans. My contribution is training, experience, and the skills to ensure all Monarchs are properly trained. Access to points of contact to coordinate health events and resource referrals for Gama Eta Alpha initiatives. It is my hope that Gamma Eta Alpha will become the beacon of hope to provide resources to all female veterans in need.

MONARCH CHASITY REID
FOUNDER     SMR ‘21 
It was time to establish a Sisterhood that was founded with purpose by women who believe in and support each other regardless of their differences. Sisters who would not berate nor talk down to each other. Sisters who would encourage, uplift, and "Break the Law" to ensure each sister knows she is cherished. It was time to "Be the Change" and let my sisters-in-Arms know there is a place like no other where they will be loved, accepted, and find a true Sisterhood. I want to contribute my talents and my vision to help build an everlasting Sisterhood. I hope our legacy will be one of Sisterhood, Service, and Respect. I also hope that when the name Gamma Eta Alpha Military Sorority, Incorporated is spoken it is with the utmost esteem for those Sophisticated, Elegant, and Remarkable women who have had the honor of joining this Sisterhood.
