Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. (ΧΗΦ) is an international, nonprofit, professional service organization for registered professional nurses and student nurses, representing many cultures and diverse ethnic backgrounds.[2][3] The sorority has more than 8,000 members located throughout the United States, the District of Columbia, Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Monrovia, Liberia. Sarah Killian, DNP, RN is the current national president.
History
Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc., was founded on October 16, 1932, at Freedman's Hospital in Washington D.C., now known as Howard University Hospital. The organization's foundation was based on concerns, at that time, which regarded restrictions in the employment of black nurses to segregated facilities and hospitals, and menial positions where there was little to no chance of advancement in the profession.
The charter chapter, Alpha, was founded and organized by Ailene Carrington Ewell, RN, with the assistance of eleven other black registered nurses, collectively known as "The Twelve Jewels". The Twelve Jewels were:[4][5]
- Clara E. Beverly
- Lillian Mosely Boswell
- Gladys Louise Catchings
- Bessie Foster Cephas
- Henrietta Smith Chisholm
- Susan Elizabeth Freeman
- Ruth Turner Garrett
- Olivia Larkins Howard
- Mildred Wood Lucas
- Clara Belle Royster
- Katherine Chandler Turner
The sorority welcomed its first male member in 1977.[6]
Symbols
The sorority's colors are pea green and lemon yellow. Its flower is the white chrysanthemum with ivy. Its mascot is the turtle, chosen because it is determined, persevering, a risk taker, sure-footed, and purposefully directed.[7] Its motto is "Service for Humanity".[8]
Programs
The organization has programs focusing on health promotion/disease prevention, leadership development, mentoring, recruitment, retention, and scholarship. These programs include national, regional, and local conferences, seminars, and workshops; consumer health education programs throughout different communities; leadership development programs/summits that focus on continuing education; recruitment and retention of nursing students; and award recognition of outstanding nurses in the profession.
The organization has relationships with many civic, professional, and educational groups including the American Nurses' Association, the National Council of Negro Women, the United Negro College Fund, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
