Hi SoCalGirl...
The primary role of Zeta Amicae (friend in Latin) is support the local area chapters with service projects and other activities. They are not a chapter, they are an auxiliary--they operate because Zeta operates. Zeta Amicae can have their own fundraisers and do often conduct their own service projects, if they desire, but it is with the assistance/overview of their sponsor chapters.
Zeta Amicae do have their own membership drives and processes, once again with the assistance and overview of their sponsor chapters. Zeta Amicae's colors are different than Zeta's colors, and they do not use any of the ritual materials of Zeta.
Hope this answers your question.
To my Delta Sisterfriend: Generally, membership in Zeta grad chapters requires a BA degree or higher.
Shouts to my Sisterfriends of SGRho and their Philos.
Best,
Shela
