Amicae
In 1940, graduate chapters began to notice that there were women in the community with the same ideals as those women of the sorority. Yet, for various reasons these women were not able to attend college.
As a result of their interest in the sorority, many different auxiliary organizations cropped up throughout the United States. The one that has lasted throughout the years and that has been recognized as the only Zeta Booster Club originated in Omaha, Nebraska in 1947. This group is called the Amicae, which means “friends” in Latin. The purpose of the Amicae is to lend assistance to Zeta activities, to promote good public relations between Zetas and other women in the community, to make non-Greek women feel closer to the program of a Greek-letter group, and to assure more cooperation in community projects sponsored by Zetas.
Membership is open to family members, friends and women recommended by any of the city’s chapters. There are currently over 175 Amicae chapters in the United States.
