HISTORY OF CHI ETA PHI SORORITY, INC.

An international sorority of registered nurses and student nurses, Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1932 in Washington, D.C. by Aliene C. Ewell, together with eleven other charter members. 

Our purposes are: 

1. To encourage the pursuit of continuing education among members of the nursing profession. 

2. To have a continuous recruitment program for nursing and the health profession.
 
3. To stimulate a close and friendly relationship among the members.

4. To consistently identify a corps of nursing leaders within the membership who will function as agents of social change on the national, regional, and local levels.
