Alyssa Morisato (born 8 April 1990) is a Collegiate Member of Zeta Lambda Chapter (ΖΛ 6) at UCLA.

Early Fraternity Life and Career

Alyssa Morisato was born and bred in the Bay Area of Northern California. She attended both Washington High School in Fremont, California and Mission College in Santa Clara, California before deciding to transfer to UCLA for Fall 2010, in lieu of being rejected from UC Berkeley. As a psychology major and honors student, she looked for ways to expand her learning, help others, and make friends in a new city. That and having a stellar resume for law school.

In Spring Quarter 2011, Alyssa received an email regarding recruitment to Phi Sigma Pi, and attended an information meeting with future Zeta Lambda Chapter President Jun Du. After the information session, she quickly applied for the positions of Chapter Vice President, Parliamentarian, Historian, and Secretary. It was at initiate pinning that she found she had been selected to be the Vice President for the new colony. It was also at her initiate pinning that she met Josh Marder, and took his belief that you get back much more than you give to Phi Sigma Pi. After a successful colony period that spring, Alyssa was pinned an active member of Phi Sigma Pi June third, 2011. Alyssa was elected Grand Chapter Delegate from the Zeta Lambda Chapter for the 2011 Phi Sigma Pi National Convention. Following Grand Chapter, Alyssa intends on creating the best term for Zeta Lambda (thus far) this coming Fall 2011. As of Fall 2011, Alyssa is President of the Zeta Lambda Chapter.
