Jillian Quirante (born 15 April 1988) is an Alumni Member of Epsilon Xi Chapter (ΕΞ 10) at East Tennessee State University.

Early Fraternity Life and Career

Jillian decided to attend East Tennessee State University to pursue toward a career in medicine in 2006 after she graduated from Hume Fogg Academic High School. Jillian heard about Phi Sigma Pi from a letter. She was inducted on April 21, 2008 into the newly chartered Epsilon Xi. Jillian graduated with a bachelor's degree in Biology with a minor in Humanities on May 8, 2010.

Collegiate Years at Epsilon Xi Chapter

Jillian served on the initiation committee of the colony in the Spring of 2008. She has given back to her chapter by organizing the Epsilon Xi Facebook group, which continues to be used as a resource for initiate classes. She was elected to be the Grand Chapter Delegate held in 2008 National Convention Nashville, TN in August. In the Fall of 2008, Jillian was appointed to be the Public Relations Chairperson for the academic year. As her first semester as PR chair, she began a Yahoo group for the chapter, developed advertising plans for various chapter events, and has jump started a newsletter for the chapter, "Epsilon Xi Times". She hopes to be a great resource for the rest of the Brothers in her chapter and hopes to make Phi Sigma Pi one of the well-known organizations on campus.

In addition to Public Relations, Jillian has participated in several of the events planned by various committees of the Epsilon Xi chapter. One specific involvement outside of public relations is with the social committee. Jillian, as well as 3 other Brothers, were the coordinators of the first bi-annual chapter retreat to be held in February of 2009. Another event that Jillian helped coordinate with the help of another Brother, Elizabeth Huntley, was Relay for Life 2009. This event was a success with the Phi Sigma Pi being the Greek organization to raise the most money as a team with only one group in ETSU Relay history. This was a great accomplishment. Later on in the Spring 2009 semester, Jillian was awarded with the "Brother of the Semester" award by the Scholarship committee.

Unfortunately, Jillian went locally inactive during the Fall of 2009 due to several problems that arose the first few Chapter meetings. Despite her inactivity, she participated in various service and scholarship events.

In the Spring of 2010, Jillian became again an Active Brother and served on the Risk Management and Chapter Operating Policy committees. She had several plans for the upcoming semester even though she did not hold any positions. Her projects for the spring semester included updating the Wiki for the Chapter and the Brothers in her Chapter, finalizing the first Chapter Operating policy, and assisting the Chapter Operating Policy Committee in making handbooks for the newly created positions for the Brother at Large and Web Administrator for the Chapter.

As an Alumna of the Epsilon Xi Chapter

As an Alumna of the Epsilon Xi Chapter, Jillian hopes to still be involved with the Chapter. She also plans to join the National Alumni Association of Phi Sigma Pi after graduation.
