History of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc.

Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. is a national sorority of registered professional nurses and nursing students. Aliene Carrington Ewell was born in Norfolk, Virginia and graduated from Freedman’s Hospital School of Nursing in Washington, DC and the District of Columbia Teachers’ College. She lived in Washington, DC, and worked as a professional nurse and administrator. Mrs. Ewell retired as director of the Iona Whipper Home for Unwed Girls and continued living in Washington, DC, until her death.

In the 1930s, opportunities for black nurses to fully participate in professional nursing activities were restricted. Black nurses were not permitted to join in the state nurses’ associations in the South and were restricted in the degree of involvement as members of the northern state associations. Additionally, restrictions in employment relegated black nurses to working in segregated facilities and to positions where there was little or no opportunity for advancement. Mrs. Ewell and many of her colleagues were concerned about these restrictions and felt that a black nurse should be able to equally participate in those areas of society where their expertise and knowledge would be most helpful.

As a result of these concerns, Chi Eta Phi Nursing Sorority, Inc., was founded on October 16, 1932 at Freedman’s Hospital School of Nursing by Mrs. Ewell and 11 other colleagues, referred to as the Jewels: 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, and Katherine Chandler Turner. Their memory will live on, as members of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Inc. continue to live up to the motto: Service for Humanity.

Chi Eta Phi Sorority is a professional organization dedicated to addressing the concerns and issues surrounding black professional nurses. Alpha was the first Chapter and membership was restricted to black, female, professional nurses. Today, all professional nurses are eligible for membership without regard to ethnicity, race or gender.

Today, the Sorority is comprised of 90 graduate and 50 undergraduate chapters with a combined membership of more than 8,000 in the five regions in the continental USA, US Virgin Islands, and Monrovia, Liberia.
