The Squirrel's Nest 2 She will also focus on providing support for the members and being available to them. While Jeanette has many goals for Psi Chapter, one of her main goals is to help the women continue to achieve excellence. "Psi has received many outstanding awards in the areas of scholastics, campus involvement, and diversity. I want to help in any way possible to maintain the high performance standards our members have achieved." As Jeanette adjusts to her role as housemother, she hopes to see continued alumnae support and involvement. "It is important to support the chapter to continue the AGD standard of excellence that Psi has been known for. Support can be given in many ways, including helping with recruitment, giving financial support, or just coming by the house on football weekends and seeing what all we're doing." When she is not busy being Psi Chapter's housemother, Jeanette enjoys spending time with her children, Sarah Glover and Miland Simpler. Both received undergraduate and law school degrees from the University of Alabama. She celebrated the birth of her first grandson and Sarah's first son, Worth, in December 2014. Jeanette is from Montgomery, Ala. She can be contacted at jhsimpler@bellsouth.net.
