In 1845, a group of Chicago Scots established an organization to aid Scottish immigrants to adjust to life in the New World. They formed the Illinois Saint Andrew Society, the first charitable organization in Illinois, to serve the needy and preserve Scottish customs.

Being a member of the Illinois Saint Andrew Society means being a part of something bigger than ourselves. Our Society is for anyone who is Scottish by descent, birth or by inclination.

By joining or renewing your membership of our great Society, you will become part of an important tradition and assure that our Scottish heritage, culture and values live on for generations to come.
