As early as 1940, graduate chapters of Zeta Phi Beta began to realize the
importance of the prestige, good will and cooperation of women who, for various reasons, were not members of any Greek-letter organization. Under the administration of Soror Lullelia Harrison, the first Amicae chapter was organized in Omaha, Nebraska in 1947 making Zeta the first sorority in the
National Pan-Hellenic Council to organize an auxiliary group. Zeta Amicae are affiliated through local chapters.
The Amicae Auxiliary of Alsip is one of over 175 Amicae groups in the United States. Zeta Amicae or "Friends of Zeta" represent a vast number of women, who do not have a college degree, but would like to experience an affiliation with a Greek organization.
Local History:
Established in November 20, 2005, the Amicae Auxiliary of Alsip lends assistance and provides support to the local graduate chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. - Tau Psi Zeta Chapter of Alsip. The auxiliary consists of civic-minded women who uphold the organization's principles through independent service
projects and programs designed to engage the community and increase awareness of societal issues. |
