The first youth club, known as Zetalites, Archonettes or Amicettes, was formed in the 1950’s for all youth involved with the sorority. However, participation in club activities quickly increased to the point that the club was divided into two age groups Archonettes and Amicettes. In the 1970’s the Pearlettes was organized.
Xi Zeta proudly sponsors all three youth auxiliary groups- Archonettes, Amicettes, and Pearlettes.
