Marcello Lagosh
I was initiated at the Theta Mu chapter at Hayward State/East Bay then transfered to SJSU in 2003.
I am currently working as a Game Test Analyst for Sony Computer Entertainment America.
I haven’t kept in touch with a lot of Gamma Xi’s since I graduated, but am looking to become an active alumni once I get this career thing more settled. While I was an active member of Gamma Xi, I worked in the Fraternity and Sorority Life department at SJSU.
Alumni can contact me via Facebook.
