From the South Side to the North Shore, the Chicago East Alumnae Club is proud to be the largest and oldest Saint Mary's alumnae club in the world.

The Saint Mary's College Chicago East Alumnae Club is committed to being a leader among alumnae clubs, focused on advancing the mission of Saint Mary's College through spiritual, social, and intellectual enrichment. As a dedicated part of the Saint Mary's College community, the organization will work to strengthen relationships with students, fellow alumnae, administration, and the Chicago community. Its members will continue to promote Saint Mary's College as the nation's premier Catholic women's college.

Our fundraising benefits the Saint Mary’s Chicago East Endowed Scholarship which is given to Chicago-area students each year. For the 2024-2025 school year, the Saint Mary’s Chicago East Endowed Scholarship awarded approximately $8,750 to three Chicago-area Belles (total distributed: $26,300). If you are interested in donating, please make a donation here.

We'd love to meet you! Please contact us to learn more.
