Sisters Celebrate the Life of Past Grand Archon Jeanine Jacobs Goldberg

On October 29, the Foundation hosted an event at the Nu house on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania to honor the life and legacy of Past Grand Archon Jeanine Jacobs Goldberg.

Sandy Grossman (Grand Archon), Kim Hildred (Past Grand Archon and Foundation President), Louise Kier Ziretta (Past Grand Archon), Veachey Bloom (Past Grand Archon), Arlene Fickler (past Foundation President), Joan Eilbott (Jeanine's chapter sister at Nu), Sylvana Trabout (past Supreme Council officer), and Nancy Pfeffer (past Grand Council officer) each gave a moving tribute to Jeanine, the impact she had on them as individuals and her legacy to Phi Sigma Sigma.

It was especially appropriate that this memorial was held at the University of Pennsylvania which is Jeanine's alma mater. After she graduated from our Nu chapter, Jeanine went on to Harvard Law school where she graduated top in her class. Jeanine had a tremendous impact not only in ensuring the future and perpetuity of Phi Sigma Sigma during the 1970's, but also as a woman pioneer in the legal profession.
