Chapter with the support of Sorority President Lullelia Walker Harrison and Regional Director
Evelyn Hunt. The visionary charter members—Catherine Johnson, Evelyn Ellerbee, Jean Lewis,
Katherine Besselieu Ross, and Inez Brooks—laid the foundation for a future record of
outstanding service to those in need.
