"Greetings and welcome to the virtual home of Xi Mu Zeta Chapter of Markham, Illinois. Since 1989, we have developed programs and initiatives to serve the needs of the Markham community, surrounding suburbs and the Chicagoland area. Our chapter has a membership of college educated, innovative women with diverse professional backgrounds who have a common goal to serve the community. We use simple beliefs, bold ideas, and the desire for change as tools to uplift those in need. We invite women who have not completed college, but have a desire to serve the community, to join our Amicae (Friends of Zeta) auxiliary. Xi Mu Zeta encourages sisterhood and fosters an atmosphere where women are excited and motivated to lend their time and talent for the betterment of humanity.
