| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Incorporated, and the Xi Phi | ||
| Chapter of the organization on the occasion of the 59th | ||
| Middlesouth Regional Conference Grand Opening, which is taking | ||
| place on March 27, 2025; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Founded on October 16, 1932, at Freedmen's | ||
| Hospital, now known as Howard University Hospital in Washington, | ||
| D.C., Chi Eta Phi Sorority is an international nonprofit service | ||
| organization dedicated to the advancement of the nursing | ||
| profession and public health for both men and women who are | ||
| registered nurses or nursing students; and | ||
| WHEREAS, At the time of the organization's founding, Black | ||
| nurses faced severe employment restrictions and opportunities | ||
| that were limited to segregated facilities with little to no | ||
| possibility for professional advancement; in response, Chi Eta | ||
| Phi Sorority was established to provide professional | ||
| development, leadership training, and advocacy to increase the | ||
| availability of opportunities for its members and their | ||
| communities; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The organization continues to be a vital force in | ||
| promoting health equity through its engagement in health fairs, | ||
| community service projects, educational seminars, workshops, | ||
| forums, philanthropy, and scholarship awards; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Middlesouth Region is one of Chi Eta Phi | ||
| Sorority's five geographic regions across the United States, and | ||
| its members remain steadfast in upholding the core values of the | ||
| organization by fostering professional excellence and community | ||
| service; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The members of Chi Eta Phi Sorority have | ||
| demonstrated an unwavering dedication to public health and the | ||
| provision of high-quality care in the field of nursing, and their | ||
| efforts have created a positive impact for countless individuals | ||
| and communities; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize the Xi Phi Chapter of Chi Eta Phi | ||
| Sorority, Incorporated, on the occasion of the 59th Middlesouth | ||
| Regional Conference Grand Opening and commend the members of the | ||
| organization on their outstanding contributions to their | ||
| communities and to the nursing profession; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
| honor of this special occasion. | ||
