Zeta Sigma Chi

Zeta Sigma Chi (ΖΣΧ) (also known as Z-Chis, pronounced "Zeek eyes") is a multicultural American sorority founded in 1991 at the Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois.[1][2] It was the third national multicultural organization founded in the United States.[2]

History

On March 3, 1991, Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority Inc. was established at Northern Illinois University by eight founding members known as the Mommy Chis.[2] The Mommy Chis are Maribel Campa, Zandra Cortes, Sandra de la Roca, Veronica Escobar, Sandra Gomez, Jacqueline Herrera, Laura Murillo, and Julie Sanders.[3]

Zeta Sigma Chi is based upon five principles. The organization's principles are education, success, culture, service, and sisterhood, with an emphasis on social justice. [3]

The Oakland University Office for Student Involvement selected its Zeta Sigma Chi chapter as the Fraternity & Sorority Life Organization of the Year for the 2019–2020 academic year.[4]

Symbols

Zeta Sigma Chi's colors are peach and black.[2] Its flower is the peach rose and its symbol is the unicorn.[3] Its motto is "Keeping the Dream Alive."[3]

Activities

The sorority's philanthropies are the Ronald McDonald House Charities and the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME).[3] The Eastern Michigan University chapter hosts an annual SexapalooZa to encourage positive discussion and education about healthy and safe sex.[5] The University of Michigan chapter held a workshop to discuss homophobia in the Greek system.[6]
