Eta Lambda Zeta Chapter was chartered Oct. 31, 1971 at Selfridge Air National Guard in Mount Clemens, Mich.. The chapter was started by a group of local sorors who were wives of the Selfridge base airmen and schoolteachers.

The organizer was Josephine Crowell (deceased), a past Great Lakes Regional Director (1974-1980) and the first chapter Basileus. She also chartered a Minnesota chapter in the 1970's. The charter members were Elsa Hill (deceased), Norma Holstein (deceased), Carol Howze (deceased), Barbara Steen (deceased) and Georgia Parker (living).

Under the leadership of Grand Basileus Isabel Herson, Regional Director Effie Burford and Michigan State Director Marie Clifton, Eta Lambda Zeta began the journey that leads us to this day.
