Alpha Phi Chapter Presidents – A Historical View

In Memoriam

Fredonnia was our charter (first) president and totally devoted to the sorority and its purposes. One of the purposes of the sorority is to “elevate the plane of nursing.” She was committed to the recognition of nurses for their service and always looked for opportunities to honor individual nurses. She was instrumental in the formation of a Chi Eta Phi graduate chapter and undergraduate chapter in Oakland, Ca – Omicron Phi and Omicron Phi Beta.
