The Greater Jersey Hudson River Region #22 (commonly referred to as GJHRR) is one of the order's largest region with over 1700 members. As per new legislation introduced in September 2020 entitled "Motion, Establishment of the GJHRR’s Official Mascot and Colors", GJHRR's mascot is the lion, and its regional colors are midnight black, carolina blue, and a sprinkle of icy white. The region generally has three (previously five) regional conventions a year, including SPIRIT (December), MIT (February/March), and LIFE (April/May). During months that a convention is not held, a chapter usually hosts a regional dance. These include the annual Pink and White Ball, hosted by Pascack Valley AZA and BBG, which raises money for Play for PINK, as well as the regional kickoff in September, which is organized by the council S'ganim and features a unique theme each year. GJHRR is a region split into two councils each with an AZA and BBG board. There is no regional board, but the four council presidents act as the RCC or Regional Coordinating Committee. Both chapter and council board members in GJHRR serve full-year terms (unlike many regions in which six-month chapter board terms are the norm), and are elected in May at LIFE convention. In addition, GJHRR combines the positions of Mazkir/Mazkirah and Gizbor/Gizborit on council boards for a single hybrid "Maz/Giz" position.

The region employs four staff members, Naomi Tilman, the regional director, and the assistant regional directors, Amy Gerson and Max Nachman, Allison Bernstein. Judi Youngman, the region's longtime senior regional director, retired in 2020 and passed her responsibilities onto Naomi Tilman. GJHRR also previously employed assistant regional directors Ali Leitner and Rob Kappel, the latter of which now works in Big Apple BBYO as regional director.
