Zeta Chi Lambda began forming in the spring of 2008. Founding members Rebekah Ball, Larissa Curtis and Helen Mazurek desired to form a group of sisters and friends who would challenge each other to grow as elegant, graceful and strong Christian ladies.
Ten girls accepted the challenge of joining the founders and became Zeta Chi Lambda's charter members; Bethany Dukes, Sheena Elliott, Danielle Gambrell, Ivie Gulbrandson, Amy McKinney, Whitney Thiem, Camille Thon, Alyssa Shumaker, Savannah Squires and Kristen Wohleber.
The thirteen ladies of Zeta Chi Lambda officially launched on Lee University's campus
in the Fall of 2008.
