Chi Alpha New Orleans is made up of student organizations from specific New Orleans universities. However, there are also some full-time people who work to develop and advance the communities individually, and as a whole. These staff members are sometimes called pastors, or missionaries, but really try to just be servants.
Chi Alpha New Orleans Directors: Matt and Jen DeGier
Matt and Jen came to New Orleans to get Chi Alpha started in the summer of 2003, after completing a Chi Alpha internship at UL-Lafayette. They are both from the MidWest, originally, and met at North Central University in Minneapolis.
Jen enjoys real camping (RVing is NOT camping), shopping for shoes (trying to quit), sewing, reading on the beach, playing cards, beating people at Castle RISK, garage saling, fostering kittens, and playing in the dirt (gardening).
Matt enjoys studying and talking about theology, philosophy, sociology, justice, and more nerdy stuff, running long distances, reading, smelling and collecting books, preparing, consuming and talking about coffee, soccer, playing in mountains and beautiful weather.
