Welcome!

Welcome to the home page of the Middlewest Region, one of six regions of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Incorporated an international nonprofit service organization.

Chartered in 1932 at Freedman’s Hospital, now the campus of Howard University, in Washington, D.C., Chi Eta Phi is a professional organization of registered nurses and nursing students both males and females with varied cultures from diverse and ethnic backgrounds.

The origin of our region began at the 1946 National Conference (Boulé) where a committee was given the charge to divide the United States into regional districts.  It would be ten years before the region would be established.  In March 1956, Rho chapter became the first Middlewest chapter to be chartered and in April 1956 the Middlewest Region was officially organized. The historic event took place at the Sheraton Jefferson Hotel in St. Louis Missouri. The Middlewest has 11 chapters and 8 undergraduate chapters.
