About Our Chapter

Illinois Zeta Day 2006 -- Violet Celebration for two members

Chicago, IL Northwest Suburban Alumnae Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha was chartered in the 1950's. Sisters came together after college to continue the bonds of friendship they treasured as collegiates. They began meeting on the first Tuesday of the month for social and service events and that meeting time has lasted for fifty years. Through the years the group has grown to include Zetas from all over the country. Our collegiate chapters include: Alpha Kappa, Eta Phi, Zeta Phi, Beta Iota, Aplha Psi, Alpha Phi and others.

 

The best way to describe the dynamic of our group is that we are very diverse. From recent grads to fifty year receipiants, and new moms to grandmas. The commeradery of our fraternity is strong within our group regardless of how often meetings are attended. The support that our chapter provides each member in times of hardship and joy is powerful and speaks to the impact the values of Zeta Tau Alpha has had on each of us.
